No Budget Deal at the Capitol

With just hours left in the Legislative session, there is no agreement between Governor Tim Pawlenty and DFL legislative leaders on how to balance the budget. The Governor says if they can't agree, he will act unilaterally to make the cuts necessary to match spending with revenue.

State Senator Mary Olson of Brainerd fears cuts planned by the Governor will have a devastating impact on hospitals.

House Minority Leader Marty Seifert says, if hospitals and the poor suffer consequences, the DFL is to blame.
