Budget Deal at Minnesota Capitol Nears Completion
Minnesota legislative leaders have reached a budget agreement just days before the session’s end. Governor Tim Walz and top officials will unveil the budget framework at a news conference scheduled for Thursday at 10:15 a.m. The 2025 legislative session has faced challenges, including a delayed start in the House due to a power struggle, marking only the second time in recent history that the chamber is evenly split.
Additionally, there have been three special sessions to fill vacant seats, and a former GOP senator has been arrested on charges related to soliciting a minor, further complicating the legislative landscape. These events have created an atmosphere of urgency as lawmakers scramble to finalize budgetary provisions.
As the situation develops, CBS News Minnesota will provide a live stream of the upcoming news conference. This agreement is pivotal for setting funding priorities and addressing pressing state needs. With just days remaining in the session, all eyes are on the Capitol, eager to see how the budget framework will impact Minnesota residents moving forward.
Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story.
