 The fate of the legal battle between Governor Mark Dayton and Republican lawmakers now rests with the Minnesota Supreme Court. The two sides took their disagreements surrounding the Democratic governor's veto of the legislature's $130 million operating budget to the state's highest court Monday. Dayton line item vetoed their funding to force top Republicans to rework major tax breaks and other measures he signed into law earlier this year. Lawmakers sued in a lower court agreed ruling the action unconstitutional. Dayton appealed. Lawmaker's attorney Doug Kelly argues Dayton's veto abolished the legislature. But opposing attorney Sam Hansen says the Constitution clearly gives the governor authority to line item veto funding. It's unclear when a final decision may come.
