House Democrats will release budget plan today

House DFL leaders will release their budget proposal this afternoon, a day earlier than expected.

A media advisory sent out this morning says House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Majority Leader Tony Sertich will be available at 3:00 p.m. to discuss budget targets.

Kelliher had earlier said the targets would come out Friday.

UPDATE

Rep. Mindy Greiling, DFL-Roseville, the chair of the K-12 Education Finance Division, offered a clue that education funding might come out well in the House plan.

"It's premature for me to talk about the exact targets, Greiling said. "But you could say I have a smile on my face today."
