The bishops of the Catholic Church and a number of Lutheran bishops have issued an open letter to Gov. Mark Dayton and the Minnesota Legislature about their efforts to deal with the budget crisis in this state. In it, they express well the need to not forget the poor and marginalized in our society. This letter, as others that have preceded it in years past, is clearly a non-partisan document, reflecting instead the need for both parties to come together to promote the common good of all our citizens.
