39:24Now PlayingAt a crowded State Capitol news conference Tuesday, January 15, Governor Tim Walz, state officials, members of the faith community and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle spoke about the potential fallout stemming from the partial federal government shutdown.
According to Myron Frans, Commissioner of Minnesota Management and Budget, the state receives about $1 billion dollars each month to administer federal programs, from food assistance to veterans' benefits to highway funding. According to Governor Walz, the state is currently able to fund the obligations, but added that "we’re in uncharted territory." In addition to reviewing legal action against the federal government for its failure in providing expected funds, the state has been covering the costs of some federal programs to prevent a disruption in service.
