Nada, nothing, zilch, zippo…

Gov. Pawlenty and legislative leaders met behind closed doors today but there's little to report. DFLers say Gov. Pawlenty needs to support $1 billion in "ongoing revenue" in order to get the budget deal done. Pawlenty said no way, no how. He prefers his latest offer which borrows $500 million, delays payments to schools and drains the budget reserve.

Tick tock.

By the way...

I post up to the minute legislative and Pawlenty updates on Twitter.
