Pawlenty's Unallotment Use is Temporarily Restrained!


Here's the Minnpost article, which tells you absolutely everything you need to know. A quick summary: Ramsey County Judge Kathleen Gearin's ruling specifically restores a tiny chunk of funding to a nutritional program, but it has clear repercussions for the $2.7 billion total cut. It clears a path for other plaintiffs to bring specific suits. The action Gearin took is temporary, but is restores funding until a hearing in March.


Pawlenty's camp responded with this statement: "We are disappointed in the judge's decision. We are weighing all our options, including appeal, reestablishing unallotments under the current forecast, potential legislative options, and other actions."
