GOP House Speaker Kurt Zellers will staff the Minnesota House of Representatives State Fair Booth on Wednesday. It will be the first time Zellers will appear at the House of Representatives booth at this year's State Fair.

Zellers, GOP Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton are responsible for a state budget that erased a $5 billion projected budget deficit. The plan relies on a mix of spending cuts, one-time money and a payment delay to K12 schools. They passed the budget deal after the state government was shut down for three weeks.

A spokesman for Koch says Koch will appear at the Senate's State Fair booth on Thursday but didn't give a specific time. I'll update the blog if/when a time is set.
