Republican legislative leaders had hoped that Monday would be the last day of the 2012 Legislative session, but now they say they're no longer sure they'll meet that goal. 


GOP leaders say they're willing to stay longer, if there's a chance of negotiating agreements with DFL Gov. Mark Dayton on a bonding bill and changes in tax policy. Otherwise, they could decide to go home without ever voting on the Vikings stadium. 


Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer talked with MPR Capitol reporter Tim Pugmire about what to expect this week at the Capitol.
