Gov. Pawlenty's office says Pawlenty will make his budget announcement at 1 pm tomorrow at the Harold Stassen Revenue Building in St. Paul. Pawlenty was on Midday today. Bob Collins also live-blogged the show. Here were a few of the nuggets:

Pawlenty said there would be a 15% cut in expected spending increase in HHS programs. He said those programs would only increase at a 4% clip.

Pawlenty also opposed efforts to extend the sales tax to food, clothing and prescription drugs.

He said he would make some payment shifts.

He also said he'll cut business taxes.
