Special session prospects dim as negotiations break down at State Capitol

June 22, 2016 By Bill Werner

Prospects for a special session are dimming after negotiations between Governor Mark Dayton and Republicans over a bonding bill broke down Tuesday at the State Capitol.   House Speaker Kurt Daudt says “the governor has not moved a single centimeter from where he was a few weeks ago.”  Dayton responds Republicans pushed the two sides further apart by making fresh demands for tax credits for private schools plus a measure related to the minimum wage.  “We went backwards,” he says.   “They [Republicans] added two measures that are enormously controversial. They know that.”  Dayton and Republicans accuse each other of wanting campaign fodder more than a special session.   Political wrangling killed a bonding bill one month ago in the final minutes of the legislative session.
