Abortion bans? edit

I don't see anything in the referenced article that refers to abortion bans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauciusa (talkcontribs) 22:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Okay; found reference for the anti-abortion thing and rephrased Lauciusa (talk) 22:29, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Dayton's July Offer edit

The state shutdown is still not over. He only gave an offer with some major conditions that the Republicans have not agreed to yet. Lets not jump the gun. Dinkytown talk 17:37, 14 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Schools edit

How will this affect schools in september? 174.20.115.29 (talk) 20:47, 14 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Twenty percent of teachers will can not teach because their licenses can not be renewed, which is normally done over the summer (i.e. now...). There's a lot more... Dinkytown talk 20:53, 14 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • "Their budget called for $34 billion in state spending, increased from $32 billion as a "compromise" with the DFL": why is "compromise" in quotes? It looks a bit like scare quotes, which is inappropriate; is it actually a quote from the given source? Is there disagreement about whether it can fairly be described as a compromise?
    • The Republican leaders called it such, so I rephrased the sentence. It's implied that at least Governor Dayton disagreed with that assessment in sources. —innotata 22:43, 6 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • What was the fate of Phyllis Kahn's continuing appropriations bill? It sounds like it probably died, but you don't say that directly.
    • Yes, it died since no action was taken on it by the end of the session. I'll need to find its entry on their website (viz, a primary source) to verify this. Thanks for doing the review. —innotata 22:43, 6 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

-- Sources and images look good. I checked for close paraphrasing and found no issues. Prose is very clean; I made a couple of minor tweaks. The above two issues are all I can see; I'll place the article on hold. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:49, 3 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

The question about Kahn's bill isn't worth holding up GA for, so I'm passing this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 03:33, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
