Why Minn lawmakers will go to overtime

Why a divided Minnesota legislature needs an overtime session Minnesota s politically divided state legislature will blow through a deadline for passing a balanced budget, with too many unresolved fiscal and policy disputes Author: John Croman Updated: 10:05 PM CDT May 14, 2021 ST PAUL, Minn There s a growing consensus that Minnesota lawmakers won t be able to get a budget passed before the session ends Monday. They ll need to meet in a special session, most likely during June, to wrap up their work and thereby avoid a state government shutdown in July. The State Capitol s Big 3 - Gov. Tim Walz, Republican Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka and Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman - continued to hold private negotiations behind closed doors in hopes of crafting overall budget targets.

Clashes over taxes, policing stymie budget talks at Capitol

Copy shortlink: It was always going to be a heavy lift: Set the next state budget with a politically divided government and vastly opposing views on taxes and government spending. Throw in a global pandemic, lingering uncertainty around public health and federal aid and passionate disagreements over police reform. Oh, and conduct some of those tense negotiations over Zoom. We have not the greatest track record of ending on time. And this year COVID, emergency powers, federal money, police reform, make ending on time even more difficult in 2021 than in the past decade, said Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman of Brooklyn Park.
