Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton says he will veto five major budget bills (health and human services, agriculture, state agency funding, environment and E-12 education) that the Republican-controlled legislature sent him, and is waiting for the rest to veto before he resumes negotiations.  Dayton says with this weekend’s Fishing Opener and Sunday being Mother’s Day, Monday is probably the first day he and legislative leaders could meet

 

Republican lawmakers have been urging Dayton to meet with them over the weekend.  The two sides remain far apart on tax cuts and spending.
