At Minnesota Capitol, final bills take shape as push is on to finish state budget

Gov. Mark Dayton and the Republican-controlled Legislature finalized a deal Tuesday on a two-year, $46 billion budget that will cut taxes, increase education and transportation spending and borrow nearly $1 billion for a package of public works projects around Minnesota.

Although the bills had not passed as of late Tuesday, Dayton and legislative leaders have a signed agreement that gives each side some but not all of what they wanted.
