Minnesota Legislature's 2007 session

The DFL-controlled Minnesota Senate is scheduled to vote Monday on an education bill that is actually $390 million smaller than what Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty has proposed. Why is the Senate proposing to spend less on education than the governor?

Guests

• Sandy Rummel: Vice chair of the Senate Education Committee, DFL-White Bear Lake.
• Mindy Greiling: Chair of the the House K-12 Finance Committee, DFL-Roseville.
