Governor Moves to End Government Shutdown in Minnesota

It's been two weeks since Minnesota's government shut down parks, mothballed road construction and prevented 22,000 workers from getting their paychecks. Miller-Coors says it will have to remove all its beer and liquor from Minnesota because state licenses haven't been processed.

It's been two weeks since Minnesota's government shut down parks, mothballed road construction and prevented 22,000 workers from getting their paychecks. Miller-Coors says it will have to remove all its beer and liquor from Minnesota because state licenses haven't been processed. Democratic Governor Mark Dayton and a legislature controlled by Republicans have different ideas about how to erase a projected $5 billion deficit. Now Dayton wants to make a deal, as we hear from Molly Pederson, Public Affairs Director at Conservation Minnesota.
