Day 11 and still counting

MN is still shut down, sort of.  Many "essential services" are still running, though the Gov. is working without pay and thereby setting an example for the  other "high income earners" he wants to tax more.

Very odd to drive by all those interstate rest stops with big CLOSED signs on them and the entrance barricaded.  We also took some older "scenic by-way" routes.  On those the wayside rests are still open since they are not state run and the services are less.

Can we take this shut down as an opportunity to determine both which services are indeed vital and what is a fair way to fund them?
