1:10:46Now PlayingOn a party-line vote, the Senate passed a bill that would continue funding state government through the next two fiscal years. Sponsored by Senator Roger Chamberlain, R-Lino Lakes, the bill would increase overall funding by 4 percent.
Chamber said continuing funding should budget negotiations fail is "wise, it's prudent, it's responsible. It keeps everybody in their place, services delivered."
Senate Minority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, argued against the bill. "Some people have characterized this as a continuing resolution, and I just want to be clear, that's not what this is. What this is is a new two-year budget for the state of Minnesota." He said that many of the budget provisions supported by the Senate earlier in the session would be excluded, including additional funds for education, heath care and Minnesota's prisons.
