The 2016 Minnesota Legislature convenes at the State Capitol at noon today. This session will likely bring controversy from the get-go, the first hot issue being an extension of unemployment benefits for out-of-work miners on the Iron Range. A committee in the Republican-controlled House gave thumbs up to a bill last week, but Democrats are upset because it also includes business tax cuts — something Governor Mark Dayton called “just immoral.” Lawmakers have a full plate of other issues during what will be one of the shortest sessions in recent memory — ll weeks — because the Capitol is torn up in the middle a of major renovation.
