"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]
