Guidelines first steps for budget

The reaction to North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple’s budget guidelines for the executive agencies under his control has been, shall we say, a tad extreme. Some of it is political claptrap, such as state Sen. Ryan Taylor’s, D-Towner, reaction that the governor’s guidelines “fall short of reality.” Taylor, the Democratic-NPL candidate for governor, surely knows better, but it’s a political season, and he’s obligated to take shots at his opponent when the opportunity arises.
