ST. PAUL, Minn. — Governor Tim Walz expressed confidence that the Legislature will resolve mired-down budget bills in a special session he plans to call. The Legislature’s 2025 session ended Sunday at a constitutionally mandatory adjournment. Next is for Walz to activate a special session. The governor said he sees the Legislature “working together in a fiscally responsible way”. If not, he said, the state will be obligated on a perfunctory June 1 deadline to send layoff notices to state employees.
