Prof. Morrison Writes Opinion Piece on Shutdown Funding
Professor Fred Morrison published an opinion piece for the Star Tribune entitled, "Shutdown Funding Explained." "In a nutshell, the Minnesota Constitution provides that no money can be spent without a legislative appropriation (Article 11, Section 1)," Morrison wrote. "The provision seems absolute, but as with most things, it's not that simple."
