Walz to lay out COVID reopening plan, GOP links it to budget talks
(FOX 9)
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is planning to announce later this week a timeline for easing his COVID-19 economic restrictions, a decision that looms over state budget talks.
Senate Republicans say they will only pass a simple, lights-on budget without any new programs that Walz and legislative Democrats want unless the governor gives up his emergency powers. Walz has kept those powers for more than a year during the pandemic, and Republicans have been powerless to end them.
