"Our position on whether Minnesota should expand gambling remains unchanged. It should not. The proposals from the state Legislature are half-baked attempts at easy money, with little concern for long-term consequence. Too many recent budget solutions already in place were built on shifting sands � fund transfers, borrowing, cuts to human services and the spending down of the state tobacco endowment. We don't want to add an iffy gambling scheme to the list of onetime financial Band-Aids. The Legislature and governor can do better."
