How will T-Paw trim $1.2 billion? Find out Friday or early next week
Posted by: Baird Helgeson under Funding, Minnesota governor, Minnesota legislature, Minnesota state senators, State budgets Updated: February 9, 2010 - 11:19 AM
State finance lovers can expect to see Gov. Tim Pawlenty's supplemental budget by Friday or early next week.
Pawlenty made the announcement at a news conference Tuesday. The governor's staff has said the budget won't come before his final State of the State address Thursday.
Pawlenty's budget is expected to show how he wants to slice $1.2 billion, the state's projected shortfall through the rest of the fiscal biennium.
Perhaps nobody will be more thrilled than Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller, DFL-Minneapolis. He's been a regular critic of Pawlenty for not delivering the budget before lawmakers convened last week.
"We are asking for more trouble here if we don't make some significant decisions now," Pogemiller said in an interview.
Staff Writer Mike Kaszuba contributed to this report.
