Part of the state's housing budget includes an off-ramp for Gov. Tim Walz's eviction moratorium: a major bargaining chip between legislative Democrats and Republicans.

St. Cloud s two state representatives have different ideas on when budget talks and the special session will wrap up. We re told, just plan on being here until the end, that means the 30th (of June), said Rep. Tama Theis, R-St. Cloud, on Wednesday. Don t plan anything for the weekends.
If the state budget isn t finalized by June 30, it will trigger a partial government shut down on July 1, the start of the new fiscal year. We re hoping to be done by this weekend. That s the goal, said Rep. Dan Wolgamott, D-St. Cloud, who is also an assistant majority leader. We don t want people to have to wait until the last minute. So we ll be working, probably putting in 14-hour days.
