A special session looks unlikely after bonding bill negotiations between Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton and Republicans broke down yesterday (Tues).  Dayton says Republicans forced the two sides further apart with fresh demands for tax credits for private schools and a minimum wage measure

 

House Speaker Kurt Daudt accuses Democrats of playing the “blame game” but predicts Dayton will think twice

 

Political wrangling killed a bonding bill one month ago in the final minutes of the legislative session.
