Seifert: Legislature to meet on Sunday

Posted at 11:33 PM on May 17, 2008 by Tom Scheck (0 Comments)

Republican House Minority Leader Marty Seifert says the Legislature will probably meet in a rare Sunday session. Seifert said the budget bill that erases the state's $935 million projected budget deficit was all but agreed on but it would take several hours to get it processed and printed.

"There's no way they can turn the budget bill and the tax bill around and not keep us from going to Church."

DFL House Speaker Margaret Kelliher may have a different view but we haven't seen her at all tonight so we're not sure what her plan is. DFL Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller has been coming in and out of private negotiations but has basically been mum with the press corps.

DFL Sen. Tom Bakk said negotiators are still haggling over the length of the property tax cap in the Tax bill. The governor wants the cap that lasts three years. Democrats want it to last one year.
