On the docket

Posted at 7:50 AM on April 12, 2007 by Mike Mulcahy

There's lots of stuff happening at the Capitol today, not the least of which is a press conference by Gov. Tim Pawlenty to talk about the session. Will he say anything new about taxes?

The Senate is expected to give final approval to a bill to crack down on predatory lending. The House has already passed the bill and Gov. Pawlenty supports it. It would require lenders to do more to make sure people can afford the payments before getting a home loan.

And a day after the U.S. Senate voted to allow more federal funding of stem cell research, the state Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to discuss a bill that would allow the University of Minnesota to use state money for stem cell research.
