by Cathy Wurzer, Minnesota Public Radio

Minnesota lawmakers have five weeks left before the state Constitution forces them to adjourn the legislative session, and most of their work is still unfinished. The House and Senate have passed markedly different plans for fixing a projected shortfall of $160 million in the state budget, and neither body has passed a bonding bill to fund capital projects around the state, and both are still considering legislation for a new stadium. Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Laura McCallum, Minnesota Public Radio's Capitol Bureau Chief.
