Legislative leaders now acknowledge that they probably won't hit their self-imposed goal ofholding a special session to finish the state budget this week.
What they're saying: "I could see Friday as a possibility, but I suspect it might be a day or two after that," House Floor Leader Jamie Long (DFL-Minneapolis) told WCCO Radio yesterday.
Threat level: The deadline for averting a partial shutdown is June 30, but tentative furlough and layoff notices could start going out to state workers starting around June 1 if the budget's not done.
