MN Republican Elliot Engen dons Superman costume to save Minneapolis.

Not my Rep but WTF is wrong with MN "Republican" Elliot Engen

CBS Via MSN: Rep. Elliott Engen of White Bear Lake is introducing a bill that would essentially override Minneapolis' ordinance and prevent any city or municipality from setting their own rules for rideshare driver pay.

KSTP: Walz urges lawmakers to take up rideshare legislation amid threats from Uber, Lyft.

[...] the Minneapolis City Council passed a new pay rate — meant to be an equivalent to the city’s minimum wage — for rideshare drivers who pick up, drop off or pass through the city. A 10-vote council majority overrode Mayor Jacob Frey’s veto.

While Lyft plans to end service only for trips that start or end in Minneapolis, Uber plans to cut options for the entire metro area, including Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

On Monday, House Assistant Minority Leader Rep. Elliot Engen, R-White Bear Township, filed a bill to try and preempt the Minneapolis City Council’s action.

Why try to preempt what is a city issue? Self-inflicted damage done by democrats and a guy with an R behind his name steps up to try and fix this? This isn't and shouldn't be a state issue, it should remain a city-by-city decision. 

Never underestimate Republican's abilty at fucking up a Silver Platter handed to them by democrats. RINOs and Republicans do this; on local, state and federal levels. They fail to accept The Silver Platter handed to them. EFT!

Minneapolis and MN democrats dig a grave for themselves and MN RINOs leap in wanting to bail them out of a political blunder. Do you think if MN RINOs passed a bill that hurt them politically that MN democrats would step in, trying to help them? Hell No!

When democrats are digging themselves a grave, do NOTHING! Stand down, watch and let them.

I'll never vote for a MN Republican candidate again, ever. Won't be voting dem, but will happily vote for a Third Party candidate.

Maybe, if a time comes and the elected MN State RINOs number only a dozen,  a new Republican brand, one that is Conservative and not UniParty, will form and emerge.

HEH! Those Demoplicans and Republicrats certainly are entertaining! Must be that high-octane legalized pot.

Z@X , I hear the state sponsored pot is high qual. Maybe Elliot's doing too many bong rips.
