As a series of private meetings took place Friday at the State Capitol, there were calls to make things more open as Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican legislators moved to end the state shutdown.The head of Common Cause Minnesota, a public accountability group, urged that legislators and the public have at least three days to review proposed legislation before the votes were taken that would end Minnesota's two-week shutdown.Mike Dean, Common Cause's executive director, made the plea a day after Dayton and Republican legislative leaders announced they had reached a tentative deal to end the shutdown. By mid-morning Friday – with a special legislative session likely taking place next week – state officials were reportedly in closed meetings assembling the legislation that would erase the state's $5 billion budget deficit."It is irresponsible of legislators to vote on a budget bill that they have not read and the public deserves time to absorb and respond to the final outcome," said Dean. "While it is important to end the shutdown, it is equally important for the public to know what is in the final budget."Dean, in a statement, said that "without public scrutiny, final legislation is more likely to include special interest handouts."
