The issues, what happened and what didn't

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.

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!

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.

Growlers and bloodies: But if you're desperate, you can now buy a growler of beer on Sunday from a taproom, or start your Sunday right with a bloody mary at 8 a.m. instead of 10.

Education UNRESOLVED

Universal Pre-K: Unresolved. Dayton is demanding it. The Republican House and DFL Senate declined. To be settled in the upcoming special session.

Teacher seniority: Despite lots of noise on last-in, first-out rules for teacher layoffs, the teachers union beat it back, though anything can be a bargaining chip in a special session. criminal justice PASS

Protecting privacy: Legislators agreed cops can store location data from license plate readers for 60 days.

Suppressed: Lawmakers legalized firearm "silencers" like the device above, used as a demonstration during testimony.

MinnesotaCare: The public health insurance program for 90,000 working poor survived a challenge by Republicans.

MNsure too: A task force will decide what to do with the two programs.

Good news: Spinal cord injuries got some research funding.

Fire retardant no more: After bagpiping in the Capitol hallways, firefighters helped pass the toughest flame retardant ban in the nation because they say the chemicals are unsafe and ineffective.
