House lawmakers gave the legislation final-approve Monday. If the measure is signed into law, it would allow more card tables at Canterbury Park and higher betting limits. It would also give tribal casinos access to simulcast horse racing. Dayton says he needs time to study the bill before making a decision.

Both the GOP-controlled House and Senate passed legislation in February to let school administrators consider factors other than seniority during layoffs. Republicans argue the current law is "quality-blind" and favors veteran teachers. The statewide teachers union Education Minnesota and Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius also oppose the measure.

State Senators have approved the amendments added to the bill in the House earlier this week. It's now up to the governor to decide whether to legalize more powerful fireworks in Minnesota.

The House and Senate have given the okay, but need to reach a compromise on the final measure before it heads to Mark Dayton. The governor told the Star Tribune he hasn't decided and "has to wait and see how it ends up."

The governor plans to spend his weekend persuading lawmakers to vote in favor of the stadium proposal next week. Gov. Mark Dayton told the Pioneer Press he predicts both chambers of the Legislature will approve the bill by a single vote. He said, "I've always thought it would pass by one vote."

Supporters of the bill argue teacher layoffs should be based on performance rather than seniority. In his veto message, the governor said it should be up to local school boards and teachers to negotiate their own terms of employment and dismissal.

House lawmakers agreed to the changes made in the Senate Monday night and sent the measure to Gov. Mark Dayton. The borrowing proposal includes money for colleges and universities, infrastructure projects, flood prevention and renovations to the Capitol building.

The House bill is undergoing some last-minute tweaking after it stalled Thursday night. The GOP borrowing proposal doesn't fund several projects Gov. Mark Dayton and DFLers wanted, including civic center renovations, St. Paul Saints Stadium or the Southwest light-rail line. MinnPost reports the Senate is expected to take up the measure after the House.
