GOP-engineered crisis shuts down Minnesota government in battle over taxes for millionaires
From Friday's Last Word program, a good summary of what's happening in Minnesota.
What's happening in Minnesota? The Republican-controlled legislature and the Democratic governor, Mark Dayton, are in a state budget stalemate. The governor wants Minnesota millionaires to pay more taxes — something that will affect fewer than 8000 people.
