This afternoon, attorneys representing Governor Mark Dayton and Republican Legislative Leaders filed a Joint Stipulation with the Ramsey County District Court, which asks the Court to order continuing funding for House and Senate Members, for their staffs, and for their operating obligations, for ninety days.

The following is a statement from Governor Mark Dayton.

"As evidence of our good faith, we have agreed to this Joint Stipulation, which asks the Court to order continuing funding for House and Senate Members, for their staffs, and for their operating obligations, for ninety days. If approved, this agreement will protect legislative employees, who are not to blame for our present disagreement, and Minnesota's credit rating, which we have worked so hard to restore. I hope that this agreement signals the resumption of good faith negotiations to resolve our policy differences and protect our State's fiscal integrity."
