Legislature

Minnesota’s Legislature, made up of the state’s Senate and House of Representatives, is currently controlled by a Republican majority. The state Legislature and Gov. Mark Dayton recently faced public scrutiny when disagreement over how to close the state’s projected $5 billion budget deficit caused a state government shutdown for 20 days — a state and national record.
