Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, center, unveils the House Democratic budget framework on Monday, March 25, 2019, at the state Capitol in St. Paul. Joining her for the announcement from left, are, Majority Whip Liz Olson, Majority Leader Ryan Winkler, Hortman, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Lyndon Carlson, Taxes Committee Chairman Paul Marquart and Higher Education chair Connie Bernardy. House Democrats have unveiled a budget framework that's similar to Democratic Gov. Tim Walz's proposal but adds a tuition freeze for students at public colleges and universities. The plan also includes additional corporate tax loophole closings to raise more revenue. And it includes the governor's proposal for raising the gas tax by 20 cents per gallon. Senate Republicans will release their own budget framework Thursday. (AP Photo/Steve Karnowski)
