The issues and what happened (and didn't)
Budget PASS
Taxes: DFL scuttled the GOP plan for $2 billion in tax cuts, but there's $1 billion left over to fight about next time.
The big picture: Minnesota will spend $41.65 billion during the next two years, up 4.85 percent from the previous two.
Drivers: Education and health care, well more than half the state budget, continue to drive costs.
Transportation FAIL
Nothing doing: Both sides had big multibillion dollar plans, with the DFL pushing a gas tax increase and the GOP wanting to take from the general fund. They couldn't agree.
Nothing? They did increase the fine for a second offense for texting while driving to $225 and mandated plans to better time city traffic light signals. Gr8!
Environment UNRESOLVED
Buffers: Dayton and the Republican House compromised on a plan for buffers to protect the state's waterways from pollutants, but Dayton vetoed the overall bill over other objections.
Citizens be gone: The Pollution Control Agency Citizens' Board was eliminated, one of many provisions Dayton objected to.
Sunday Liquor FAIL
Sunday sales: The Sunday sellers got more votes this time and they think they have momentum, but the powerful coalition of liquor stores and cities beat them back again.
