Dayton Budget Comes Today


Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton brings down his proposed budget today.

District 3 Senator Tom Saxhaugh expects it to contain cuts and tax increases.

"You have to come up with a total package," says Saxhaugh. "You don't just come up with a cut bill, then a another cut bill and another cut bill. We know right now the majority in the Legislature isn't enthused about coming up with additional revenue but it's got to be part of the package."

Last week, Dayton used his Veto power to kill a budget approved by the Republican-led House.
