Walz has been a monumentally bad and destructive governor. During his second term, with DFL (Democratic) majorities in both houses of the state legislature, Walz has governed in conformity with their wishes. He has spent an $18 billion surplus without a penny of tax relief and vastly increased the scope of an overweening and incompetent state government. He has raised taxes! He has left no stone unturned in his efforts to keep up with the party’s progressive left. He does not extend Harris’s reach even so much as an inch.
By conventional metrics such as crime, educational achievement, and the like, Walz has set a horrible record in office. Minnesota’s Center of the American Experiment has conveniently compiled the metrics.
