Minimum wage headlines week ahead at Capitol

Minnesota lawmakers will be busy again this week with their Easter/Passover break just ahead. They'll head back to their districts Friday and not return until April 22nd, which is the day before Gov. Mark Dayton delivers his state-of-the-state address. But before the break, we'll see some more action on anti-bullying legislation, a supplemental spending bill, the design for a new Senate office building and the Women's Economic Security Act. It also looks like there's a deal on a minimum wage increase between the House and Senate. MPR's Phil Picardi spoke with Minnesota Public Radio's Tim Pugmire, who covers the Capitol.
