Governor Pawlenty held a press conference this afternoon and said the following. "The basic responsibility of the legislature is to responsibly pass a balanced budget and the DFL failed," Governor Pawlenty said. "They spent $34 billion when they only had $31 billion available. But politics as usual around this place is over. We're not going to have a special session or a state government shutdown. Tough decisions are ahead, but those decisions need to be made if we are going to get through this difficult economic time and build towards a better future." -- May 19, 2009
