MDH Commissioner Jan Malcolm on deal to regulate assisted living facilities in Minn.
There's still no agreement at the Minnesota Capitol on a new two-year state budget, and time is drawing near, with the end of session set for Monday.

MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm about the deal.
