It looks like the legislative session could get interesting this week.

Monday night the Senate gov ops committee takes a look at a Twins stadium bill, just in time for the beginning of baseball season.

The bill is authored by Sen. Steve Kelley, who is seeking the DFL endorsement for governor.

On Tuesday the Senate Judiciary Committee holds that long-awaited hearing on the proposed constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage and civil unions.

House committees take up eminent domain, taxes and even the bird flu this week.

It'll be nice if the session picks up this week because frankly there's not a whole lot of political news this morning.

The St. Paul smoking ban took effect late last week and the city is still standing today. The yearly threat of flooding continues along the Red River of the north.

The Star Tribune has taken notice of the MCCL backed bill that would deny state funding for abortions.

And MPR weighs in on the dispute over that proposed dog kennel in Morrison County.

I, for one, wish the Legislture would take a good hard look at daylight-saving time. This "spring ahead" thing is killing me today.
