Minnesota's legislative leaders say they've reached an agreement on a two-year state budget totaling more than $50 billion, but it will require a special session in June to pass the budget bills.
At a news conference Monday, the last day of the legislative session, Gov. Tim Walz, Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, R-East Gull Lake, and House Speaker Melissa Hortman, DFL-Brooklyn Park, called it a "good day." But all acknowledged that, while they've reached an agreement on numbers, they have more work to do when it comes to policy issues.
