Money takes center stage at the state Capitol this week with the latest budget forecast due on Wednesday. The new numbers set the stage for budget negotiations for the rest of the session between the DFL-dominated Legislature and Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
Other major issues emerging at the Capitol include education spending and reforming voter registration laws. Gov. Pawlenty is also spending some time in Washington, D.C.
MPR's Perry Finelli talked with Capitol reporter Tom Scheck about the details.
