Gov. Mark Dayton says he still may call a special session, but only if lawmakers agree to his conditions.
Dayton listed his requirements in a five-page letter released Wednesday. It includes more than $30 million next year for public college budgets and an infusion of $22 million to provide extra staffing at state-managed security hospitals.
He also has specific projects that must be included in a public works bonding bill and wants a way to pay for transit projects.
Dayton also says the tax bill, which passed at the end of the regular session, has some problems that need to be fixed.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Republican House Speaker Kurt Daudt, one of the key players who will need to agree to a deal with Dayton, a DFLer.
