The latest state economic forecast comes out tomorrow (Tues) which will tell Minnesota lawmakers how much money they have to work with when setting the state budget.  The big question:  Will the projected surplus be higher or lower than the last forecast in November?  Governor Mark Dayton says

 

Dayton unveiled his budget proposal earlier and will make adjustments if needed.  Republicans in the House and Senate are waiting until after the forecast comes out to release their competing budget plans.
