MN House Leaders Offer a Counter-Offer

Minnesota House Majority Leader Tony Sertich said Friday that a counter-offer has been made to Governor Pawlenty's opening thoughts on balancing the state budget. Sertich said he believes a solution is getting closer but this probably won't be the last offer or counter-offer before the end of session. If lawmakers don't find agreement with the Governor before adjourning, Pawlenty could un-allot budget items on his own. The state contitution requires the session to end this year by May 19th.
