Politics Friday: Is the Legislature on the doorstep of a special session?



The end of the Minnesota Legislature’s session was supposed to be right around the corner — Monday, May 19 — but just like the choppy start of this year’s session, the ending is proving to be difficult. 

Back in January, a politically tied House got off to a delayed start now. Now, the possibility of a special session looms over the Capitol.  

Friday at noon, MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst speaks to a quartet of legislative leaders about the state budget and the final push to the end of this session.  

Guests:  

  • GOP Floor Leader of the House Harry Niska, Ramsey 

  • DFL Floor Leader of the House Jamie Long, Minneapolis 

  • Senate DFL Leader Erin Murphy, St. Paul 

  • Senate Republican Leader Mark Johnson, East Grand Forks
