From State Rep. Al Juhnke
District 13B, DFL-Willmar

Last January, I said the key priority for Democrats in both the Minnesota House and Senate would be getting Minnesota back on track economically. For the past three years, Minnesota’s economy has been underperforming the rest of the nation — something that hasn’t happened since the 1960s — and the state had lost close to 25,000 jobs in the last six months of 2007 alone.

Two or three years from now, we’re going to look back at the 2008 session and see the first signs of our state getting back on track.
