Esme Murphy tells me that Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak will be her guest on WCCO Sunday morning. Meanwhile, KSTP's At Issue will reportedly feature St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman.

Both mayors have ratcheted up their criticism of Gov. Pawlenty this week. Rybak issued a news release ripping Pawlenty for not following Rybak's lead on budgeting. Coleman appeared alongside public safety officials and other mayors to call for no cuts to Local Government Aid at a Friday news conference.

Vikings fans and stadium watchers take note:

Murphy says Vikings lobbyist Lester Bagley will also be on her show this morning. Bagley raised some eyebrows when he publicly ripped Pawlenty for not taking the lead on the stadium issue. The team is trying to make a push to get public funding for a new stadium. For the record, Pawlenty did propose a stadium financing plan in 2004.
