Republican legislative leaders are very angry that Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed their business tax relief bill this morning, and say they don't think they can work with him anymore.
They said the tax bill was one of their top session priorities, so they don't feel compelled to help pass Dayton's priority — the publicly funded Vikings stadium.
That wouldn't seem to bode well for the votes coming next week on putting state money into a nearly $1 billion Vikings stadium in downtown Minneapolis.
The Republican response came just a few hours later after Dayton vetoed the tax bill, which would have directed much tax relief to businesses but little to homeowners.
Senate Tax Chair Julianne Ortman called the veto "terrible" and said the governor might have "burned his last bridge" with the GOP-led Legislature.
