Governor Dayton released his budget this week. He met with members of the legislature on Tuesday afternoon to do an overview and take questions. There are a number of bold proposals in his plan. The Governor said this is the starting point point, not the end. While he is open to changes, he expects there to be substitutions provided when there is a request for a deletion.
The Governor’s proposal is essentially the first step in the budget process. The next important step is the February Forecast.
