Minnesota state lawmakers are two weeks away from concluding their 2016 legislative session and the State Farm Bureau has two of their priority issues that still need to be resolved. Public Policy Director Doug Busselman says one of those is property tax relief, which is currently mired in a conference committee.

He says their other priority is passing a transportation bill.

Busselman says the House and Senate have different versions of transportation legislation that need to be ironed out.

The Minnesota Legislature is scheduled to adjourn at midnight on May 23.
