Tim Walz Pushed a 70 Percent Gas Tax Hike—Then Called For a Federal Gas Tax Pause
Walz's office lauded 'common sense' gas tax hike and said it would 'keep Minnesotans safe'

Within his first few weeks as governor, Tim Walz (D.) proposed to hike the Minnesota state gas tax by a staggering 70 percent, an increase criticized as "highway robbery." Then, as inflation surged, Walz turned around and supported a federal gas tax pause.
 
Walz's first budget proposal, announced in February 2019, included a provision to increase the Minnesota gas tax by 20 cents, from 28.6 cents per gallon to 48.6 cents per gallon. That 70 percent increase would have taken the state from having the 29th-highest rate to the fourth-highest, placing it behind only Pennsylvania, California, and Washington, according to the Tax Foundation.

"I have often said that a budget is not only a fiscal document—it’s a moral document," Walz said after unveiling the proposal. "This budget reflects the morals of the people of Minnesota."

Vance ought to have a pretty nice portfolio of items to stick it to Fallz. 

That fake folksy-ism is going to come across as dumbassery trying to defend "Tampons In the Boy's Room".

Tampons in the Boy's Room
---------------------------------
How you doin' out there? Ya ever seem to have one of those days
Janitor's blocked the bathroom. putting a new device into a new case?
From your governor  all the way down to your best girlfriend?
Well, ya know, I used to have 'em just about all the time
But I found a way to get out of 'em
Let me tell you about it

Sitting in the classroom, thinking it's a drag
Some fool in St. Paul is telling me I'm on the rag.
The noon bells rings, you know that's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two!

Tampon's  in the boys' room
Tampon's in the boys' room
Now, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules that bore
This f__king dispenser's going on the floor.
Checkin' out the halls, makin' sure the coast is clear
Lookin' in the stalls, "No, there ain't nobody here!"
Oh, my buddy Doug, and me and Jake
All have a bet this thing won't break.

Tampon's ' in the boys' room
Tampon's in the boys' room
Now, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules and things
Because there's a 100 cotton things scattered if you want to pull strings.
