Commissioner Roger Goodell is telling Gov. Dayton the state could face "serious consequences" if lawmakers fail to pass a stadium bill during the current session, which is close to over. And Gov. Dayton says the stadium cannot wait until next year.

The House Taxes Committee will consider whether to authorize electronic pull tabs and bingo. Many supporters of a new Vikings stadium see taxes on those games as the best way to raise state money for a stadium. Meanwhile, the stadium bill's rejection by a House committee has revived talk of other potential sites and of a special session.

State lawmakers were unable to meet their self-imposed adjournment deadline of April 30th. Republican leaders are still negotiating three major pieces of business with Democratic Governor Mark Dayton: a package of tax cuts, a list of state-funded construction projects, and a plan for a new Vikings stadium. The Legislature is not required to adjourn until May 21st.

A final vote on the Vikings' stadium bill from the House and Senate conference committee could come sometime after 10:00 p.m. tonight. The House called for a recess until then, so stay tuned for an exact time of when a vote could happen.

It's been nearly a week since Governor Dayton and the Vikings owners unveiled their stadium agreement. And lawmakers still don't have a bill to vote on. But Rep. Morrie Lanning says that will likely change on Monday. That's only five days before a deadline for bills to be passed by a committee.

House Speaker Kurt Zellers says lawmakers returning to the Capitol after a ten-day break are ready to shift from a glacial pace to a NASCAR pace. Topping the list of unfinished business is a package of construction projects, tax changes for businesses and property owners, and money for a new Vikings stadium.

The 15-member House Government Operations and Elections Committee has scheduled a hearing for the $975 million stadium proposal Monday evening. The Vikings bill has already cleared the House Commerce and Regulatory Reform Committee and the House Rules Committee. It has yet to be okayed in any Senate committees.

Senate Majority Leader Dave Senjem says if lawmakers finish their other business, they may not want to stay at the Capitol waiting for a stadium deal. There's no timetable in the ongoing talks between the Dayton administration, the Vikings, and Minneapolis.
