(St. Paul, MN) -- Democrats continue their efforts at the State Capitol today to try to scale back Governor Pawlenty's authority to trim the state budget himself. A House panel debates a bill that would limit the governor's unallotment authority, which he used to trim the budget last summer after he and Democrats deadlocked over tax increases. Meanwhile, a different House committee discusses a bill that would repeal a law that says, if the state needs to borrow money for cash flow, the governor must first reduce state aid payments to school districts. Democrats complain Pawlenty dug up that obscure statute to delay school district payments this spring. Meanwhile, Republicans want another set of school aid payment delays the governor made, formally put into state law, but it's unlikely Democrats will do that.
