The latest on state taxes and spending from MPR Political Reporter, Brian Bakst

The agreement calls for four billion dollars in tax cuts and four billion dollars in new spending – on education, health care and public safety. It also leaves four billion dollars in the bank, in case of emergency.
Sunday’s deadline is fast approaching – it will be a time crunch to hammer out all the details. MPR News reporter Brian Bakst joined host Chris Farrell to talk more.
