(MNN)-Minnesota lawmakers keep trying to find common ground on the state budget. One working group struggling to finalize details is in Jobs, Labor and Economic Development where the sticking point is over the non-compete law for businesses.
“If we don’t do something to help our partnership, our large companies with non-competes, it hurts Minnesota companies. This will hurt jobs, future growth in Minnesota,” said Republican Representative Dave Baker from Willmar.
The group once again went into recess Tuesday without coming up with an agreement. Governor Walz says he will not call a special session until all the working groups have finalized their work.
