Evan Ramstad: In the House, the only DFL vote came from Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. When I asked her after the session why Democrats didn’t wield economics as a reason for keeping the benefits, she said the task for her colleagues who spoke Monday was to “make sure the Republicans know exactly that they’re hurting people.” …
“It was never about the money. It was about cruelty,” Hortman said. “It was hard to be part of it. But it was not my requirement for a state budget. It was Republicans’ requirement. And I know we need a state budget, so I had to vote for it.”

Chicago Avenue-Taxpayer Stadium in the news.
'The Legislature created the electronic games to pay for the $350 million state share of the stadium. They were so successful the state debt was repaid 23 years early and lawmakers decided to put future proceeds into the general fund.
'That move frustrated Sen. Jeremy Miller, R-Winona, who’s also a sponsor of the bill, because he says lawmakers initially intended for some e-pulltab revenue to be used for stadium upkeep.
'“This is an asset of the state of Minnesota and it is our responsibility to maintain the stadium,” Miller said.'
