(KNSI) – The Minnesota Legislative Session is coming down to the end of overtime, and some lawmakers are more optimistic than others that the work will get finished before a government shutdown.
Members of the Minnesota House and Senate have been in Special Session since June 14 after Democrat and Republicans couldn’t hammer out a projected $52-billion operating budget by the mandated deadline.
Lawmakers have three funding bills left, including a State Government and Veterans Bill, a Tax Bill, and the Public Safety and Judiciary proposals.
St. Cloud Representative Dan Wolgamott says there’s still plenty of work to be done on those three bills.
