February 27, 2001 - President Bush will address a joint session of Congress tonight. In the first major policy speech of his presidency, Bush is expected lay out plans for a one-point-six trillion dollar tax cut.

February 27, 2001 - A new revenue forecast is due to be released tomorrow. Once lawmakers see that forecast, they'll have a better idea of how much money is available for state spending. One of the things that Governor Ventura would to allocate money for is improvements to the Governor's mansion on Summit Avenue in St. Paul. In his bonding bill, the governor is asking for four million dollars to fix up the residence. I visited the 90-year-old mansion with Residence Manager Dan Creed, to see what needs to be done. Creed says Ventura isn't the first governor to ask for money to fix up the place... and some of the needed repairs go back many years.

Minnesota Public Radio's sports commentator Jay Weiner is here to prepare us for the debate.
