May 20thAlready a Long Day for Lawmakers
The Minnesota House this morning approved all but one of the eight spending bills that comprise the state budget. The measures now move on to the senate, with an expected vote on the final bill later today.
Measures passed early this morning allocate more than 15-billion dollars to public schools and include an income tax increase for the top two percent of Minnesota wage earners, a one dollar 60 cent increase in the cigarette tax and 400 million dollars in property tax relief.
The Senate is expected to approve the 38 Billion Dollar Biennial Budget today and send it on to the Governor. Lawmakers have until midnight tonight to finish their work before the 2013 session must adjourn.
Still in play: a bonding bill…and the fight over unionized daycare.
Minnesota lawmakers are not likely to see a pay raise this year. A proposal that called for a pay raise in the Senate – from 31-thousand dollars to more than 40-thousand dollars per year – was not part of the final bill. The Governor will get an unrequested 3% pay increase, with the option for some state commissioners to make more than the Governor.

The longest word in the English language is 189,819 letters long!
This word actually has a much simpler form for scientists to refer to. Scientists refer to the word simply as 'titin' and the really long, 189,819 letter word is the chemical name of titin, the largest known protein.
However, there is much debate as to whether or not this anomaly is even a word, because it isn't in any dictionaries. If that's the case, the NEXT largest word is 1,909 letters long, which is impressive, but not nearly as impressive as 'titin'.
For a little bit of perspective, Antidisestablishmentarianism is only 28 letters long. Want to learn some more really long words? Click the source!
