On one of the most important days of the year for the Minnesota Management & Budget, the MMB website crashed. Again. It was down just two weeks ago when Gov. Mark Dayton released his budget proposal, and now today with the release of the February economic forecast it's happened again.
Since 11:00 a.m. Monday, site visitors have been greeted with an error message when the page fails to load. An MMB spokesman they're working to fix the problem, but in the meantime you can find the recent budget forecast information on a temporary site: http://www.state.mn.us/mmb/
The problem? MMB spokesman John Pollard said it's likely a capacity issue and because everyone's trying to go on the site at once – the same reason it crashed before.
"I don't care what the problem is I just want it fixed," Pollard said.
