State Representative Walter Hudson was among the many Wright County area GOP lawmakers to be re-elected last week to another term in St. Paul.
The Albertville Republican had more than 59 percent of the vote in District 30 A, which includes the communities of Albertville, St. Michael, Hanover, Rockford Township and Otsego.
While Hudson said he was honored to be re-elected, he believes operating under a DFL “trifecta” in St. Paul could backfire for the state’s residents and businesses.
Hudson told KRWC Radio News that education is one of the areas that he believes a one-party legislature may fail Minnesotans…
“For example, we need to do a fundamental re-design of how education is funded, and that’s not going to happen under a Democrat trifecta, it’s just not gonna happen, because their political web, their eco-system benefits tremendously financially and politically from the status quo. So, they’re just going to jack more money into that status quo, raise taxes, make production significantly more difficult for the people of Minnesota, in order to pay off their friends – politically. And we’re not going to see significant differences in the outcomes of education whatsoever.”
Hudson says he believes that the state’s business climate could suffer under the all-DFL controlled St. Paul…
“When it comes to business, you heard from Governor-elect Amy Klobuchar tonight give lip service to making it easier to start a business in Minnesota, which is hilarious given the fact that every time that Democrats have had power, they’ve done everything they could to make it more difficult for businesses to operate in Minnesota, and every business owner knows it. They’re probably going to act accordingly. One of the things I heard consistently over the course of the campaign season this year was people saying I’m looking to November to see whether or not I’m going to stay in this state. And of course we’ve seen a trend of people, an exodus of both people and their income from the state in recent years, and I think you’re going to see that accelerate in the next couple of years. And it’s not going to provide decent results going forward.”
