The pace will crank up at the Minnesota Capitol next week.
With fewer than six weeks before the required legislative adjournment, packages of policy and spending measures will set the tone for the end-of-session negotiations that aren’t all that far off.
What’s still in play and what has taken a back seat? How prickly will those floor debates get?
