A revised budget, a tax bill and a bonding bill are among unfinished items at the Minnesota Legislature as the clock ticks down to next Sunday’s adjournment deadline.  Republican House Speaker Kurt Daudt says they’ll probably delay on buttoning-up the major bills as they try to get agreement with the governor

 

With or without a nod from the governor, Republicans probably need to finalize major bills and bring them up for floor votes by Thursday or Friday.  They and Governor Mark Dayton still have major differences over education funding and other programs, the mix of tax cuts, and the dollar amount of a bonding bill for state public works projects.
