==This event was the 19 day Minnesota government shutdown which resulted in the lost of close to 20,000 government and public works jobs. The shutdown started on July 1, 2011 at midnight and ended after democrats and republicans reached an agreement on July 20, 2011. The shutdown resulted in the stopping of the state lottery, state parks were shutdown, and many seniors and the disabled lost their "linkage lines". Also, the company MillerCoors lost their renewal licence to sell over 39 kinds of beer in Minnesota. I feel that it is important because this isn't the first time that the Minnesota government has shutdown because they couldn't come to an agreement. Back in 2005 the Minnesota government shutdown for the same reason. A state shut down isn't really necessarily the way to resolve government issues.==
