The end of the Minnesota Legislature’s session was supposed to be right around the corner — Monday, May 19 — but just like the choppy start of this year’s session, the ending is proving to be difficult. 

Back in January, a politically tied House got off to a delayed start. Now, the possibility of a special session looms over the Capitol.  

MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst speaks with legislative leaders about the state budget and the final push to the end of this session.  

Guests:  

• GOP Floor Leader of the House Harry Niska, Ramsey 
• DFL Floor Leader of the House Jamie Long, Minneapolis 
• Senate Republican Leader Mark Johnson, East Grand Forks
