À propos de cette écoute
It’s been about three weeks since the the Legislature adjourned from the 2025 session without completing a state budget.
Since then, teams of negotiators have met, mostly in private, to try to chart a path to the end and craft remaining budget bills. Lawmakers will have to complete this task to avoid a partial government shutdown that would interrupt services in state parks, key health programs, driver’s licensing exams and more.
A one-day special session has been called for 10 a.m. Monday. Will there be enough votes to approve a final compromise?
MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst talks with two House leaders about a state budget and what could happen if the budget deal isn’t met.
Later in the program, a look at the return-to-office for many state employees and a roundtable with Capitol journalists on everything happening in this not-so-quiet start to summer.
Guests:
- GOP Floor Leader of the House Harry Niska, Ramsey
- DFL Floor Leader of the House Jamie Long, Minneapolis
- Former Commissioner of Minnesota Management and Budget Jim Schowalter
