Will we remember Sunday March 21, 2010 as the historic day that it was? After years of debate and contemplation, our leaders finally stepped up. They did what was right and what needed to happen. They gave us a chance, leveled the playing field so not only the wealthy are the winners. It’s a case of the have-nots being treated like the haves. And we deserve it.
No longer will we have to wonder from year to year, month to month, whether we will be supported or left without a backstop.
Both sides of the aisle could have been unhappy or too stubborn, and each side needed to make concessions. But with the goal in mind, they did what was necessary.
Those in charge stepped up and would not quit until the deal was done. They made clear that we are indeed heading in a specific and intentional direction. I will be anxious to see what the next step is, and what challenges will be tackled. It leaves me with a joyful feeling, and looking forward to seeing possibly eight fruitful years.
There is much work yet to be done, but yesterday’s deal lays the groundwork. Granted it was not cheap. There is a lot of money invested in this. And it is not without its risks. But it was the right time and the right people to make this historic event happen.
Tonight we can rest easy. The little guy won a battle against giants. Joe Mauer is a Twin for the next 9 seasons. Now, for the team’s sake, let’s hope that he stays healthy; I hear he’s covered at any rate.
