The pace will crank up at the Minnesota Capitol next week.
With fewer than six weeks before the required legislative adjournment, packages of policy and spending measures will set the tone for the end-of-session negotiations that aren’t all that far off.
What’s still in play and what has taken a back seat? How prickly will those floor debates get?
MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst speaks with two leaders of the Minnesota House of Representatives to talk about session priorities.
Later in the program, we continue our conversations with candidates running for Congress in Minnesota’s 2nd District. Republican Eric Pratt will discuss his bid in that congressional district.
Guests:
DFL Rep. Jamie Long of Minneapolis.
Republican Rep. Harry Niska of Ramsey.
Eric Pratt is a Republican senator for Prior Lake and a candidate for 2nd Congressional District.
