Minn. Legislature To Return In February 2010

ST. PAUL (AP) ― The Minnesota Legislature will be back in town in 8-1/2 months.

Both houses have adopted a resolution setting the start of the 2010 session for Feb. 4.

Typically, sessions held in even years start later than January because the main work of adopting the two-year budget is done in odd years. But other issues can crop up in the break.

Democrats who control the Legislature originally aimed to start the session on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, but pushed the date back so it wouldn't conflict with precinct caucuses held that evening.

The Minnesota Legislature began in 2009 session on Jan. 6.
