A two-thirds majority should be required to appropriate any funds in the legislature.
yes, that would work perfectly in Minnesota. Oh wait, our divided legislature and the governor still can't agree on a budget to be passed despite being almost 2 months overdue depspite one requiring only majority approval? Oh, and because of that we're going to have a partial government shutdown until a budget can be agreed one, meaning that many government services such as highway rest stops, public parks and the DMV will have to be closed, including over July 4 weekend? Hmmm, I guess making it even more difficult to pass budgets isn't a good idea.
