Politics Friday: Moves in Washington hover over state budget outlook


Listen Later

Amid upheaval at the federal level, Minnesota officials released the state’s latest economic forecast.


It’ll set the parameters for the new budget that lawmakers will craft before they gavel out of this year’s session.


The state’s fiscal cushion continues to shrink, and actions from federal government will have a bearing on Minnesota government operations. Now, state finance officials warn there could be disruptions to the state’s economy.  



MPR News senior politics editor Brian Bakst discussed how deeply intertwined the state and federal actions are and the challenges that lay ahead. U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, a Democrat, and state Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson, a Republican, joined the conversation. 


Later in the program, a recap of the voices we heard at the Capitol this week.


Guests:


  • U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, DFL, District 4
  • Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson, R-East Grand Forks
