State of Shutdown: Gov. Dayton, GOP Leaders Come Together, Agree on a Prelim. Budget

Stick with Rosemount Patch for developments in the Minnesota government shutdown.

The state of Minnesota has officially shut down.

After weeks of intense negotiations capped by closed-door sessions through Thursday’s waning minutes, Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican lawmakers failed to agree on an operating budget for the coming biennium.

“I deeply regret that after two days of intense negotiations we have failed to reach an agreement,” Dayton said during a 10:30 p.m. press conference in his office.
