5 pizzas, 1 vanilla skim latte, a can of coke and some jolly ranchers

That's what I have to report tonight. Gov. Pawlenty and Legislative leaders are meeting off and on again. They're breaking right now. Health care reform and property taxes are still a major sticking point. DFLers are waiting for another "run" on a property tax cap number.

The Health Care experts (DFL Rep. Tom Huntley, DFL Rep. Paul Thissen, DFL Sen. Linda Berglin and GOP Sen. Betsy Wergin were all in the governor's office) to talk about the health care reform package.

GOP Sen. Betsy Wergin and DFL Rep. Paul Thissen said they think they can agree to a health care reform package that Democrats and Pawlenty can live with.

"I think that was possible from the beginning," Wergin said.

We're told that legislative leaders and the governor are set to return at some point tonight.

Most folks say prospects for a deal tonight are low.
