The Daily Digest: 9-10-07

Could today be the day Governor Pawlenty calls a special session? Pawlenty's staff will meet with legislative staff at 11 AM. I'm told "they're really close." We wait with baited breath. The Star Tribune says special session talks are as messy as the flood (Mr. Mark Brunswick mines a nice little nugget of news by finding out that Republicans contacted Grover Norquist).
The special session dispute comes after Gov. Pawlenty promised flood aid but said more was needed. MPR, the Winona Daily News and the Rochester Post Bulletin have stories.
The Pi Press details why there is all talk and no action when it comes to a special session.
AP says the Minnesota Guard is helping Iraq war vets leave the soldier life behind.

The Star Tribune says the bridge disaster fund cost $564,000.
The Pi Press says a road tax is slipping away but will be at the forefront next session.
Congress
General David Patreaus appears on Capitol Hill today. Everyone will be listening to what he has to say about the war in Iraq.
GOP Sen. Norm Coleman helps change the nation's anti-terror laws to help Hmong and other refugees.
The immigration enforcement debate could put a monkey wrench in the Farm Bill.
