Slow Going at State Capital


A Minnesota legislator is getting frustrated with the lack of progress being made at the State Capital.

District 3 Senator Tom Saxhaug says they're far from whether they should.

"In the last eight years, by this time we had conference committee reports out on major bills," says Saxhaugh. "Many of them had been vetoed by this time so we were back going through that process. In this case, we don't even have any initial conference committee reports on the major bills."

Saxhaugh says if business, including a budget, can't be finalized within two weeks, the legislature will be forced into a special session.
