The Minnesota state legislature has overridden a veto by Gov. Tim Pawlenty that will raise the gas tax per gallon by a nickel.

Tim Pawlenty two years ago when he signed into law a bill passed by the state legislature that raised sales taxes on families in Hennepin County (Minneapolis) by $392 million without their approval to pay for a new baseball stadium for the Minnesota Twins?
