Action continues as legislative session seeps away
Gov. Tim Pawlenty made the DFL-controlled House and Senate a counter budget offer shortly after midnight last night, one containing elements of his earlier proposal — the K-12 funding shift, for instance.
The governor signed the omnibus K-12 finance bill with reluctance yesterday, and also signed the bonding bill but not without line-item vetoes.
Among the vetoes items are $24 million for the Bell Museum of Natural History, $13 million for North Hennepin Community College Center for business and technology, and $3 million for the St. Cloud-Civic Center Expansion.
