A State Supreme Court ruling has effectively shut down the GOP from being able to operate in the chamber without Democrats present.

ST. PAUL (WJON News) -- There’s still no new power-sharing agreement between Republicans and Democrats in the Minnesota House. D-F-L Speaker-designate Melissa Hortman said she was ready to negotiate Friday after the Supreme Court ruled the G-O-P did not have the required 68 members for a quorum.

A special election for a Minneapolis state Senate seat is set to break a tie in that chamber as the state House remains paralyzed due to a partisan impasse over power.

The power-sharing agreement is still being hashed out between Democrats and Republicans in the Minnesota House. DFL Speaker-designate Melissa Hortman says both parties met this morning. She says they have narrowed the issues a bit as they continue to negotiate.

(KNSI) — Members of the Minnesota House of Representatives remain entrenched in a partisan power struggle after the GOP gained a temporary one seat majority, but the DFL says they’ll return to the Capitol under one condition.

In a major victory for Minnesota House Democrats Friday, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that 68 House members must be present for a quorum, which means the lower chamber has had no official proceedings during a Democratic boycott.

The Supreme Court justices listened to oral arguments for more than an hour and are expected to issue a ruling quickly.
