ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) – After the Minnesota legislature ended its session in chaos, some are left asking, who’s to blame?
Hamline University analyst David Schultz says there’s enough blame to go around.
“Democrats, who were really shutting out the Republicans from debate and from having input into a variety of things,” Schultz says. “But at the same time, Republicans who were saying that, unless they got certain things, they were not going to support the bonding bill.”
Schultz says Republicans also haven’t been putting up their own proposals the way they did in other sessions.
