Minnesota government shuts down ST. PAUL, MINN. (AP) — Minnesota stumbled into its second government shutdown in six years on Thursday, with a partisan divide over taxes and spending to close a $5 billion deficit becoming only more bitter as a midnight deadline came and went without agreement. Any hope of a last-minute budget deal between Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican legislative leaders evaporated around 10 p.m., when Dayton appeared to say he and Republicans were still fundamentally divided over how much the state should spend the next two years and that he saw no chance of avoiding a shutdown. “It’s significant that this shutdown will begin on the Fourth of July weekend,” Dayton said. “On that date we celebrate our independence. It also reminds us there are causes and struggles worth fighting for.” Republicans appeared again minutes later, and tried to hang blame for the shutdown around the governor’s neck. They said the two sides were closer than he admitted, and they criticized his refusal to call a special session so lawmakers could pass a “lights on” budget bill to keep government running. Dayton refused, saying he’s been clear for months that he would only agree to a total budget approach. “I think the governor’s insistence that we pass a full budget is not going to be of much comfort to Minnesotans who are going to see delays on the highways because construction projects stop,” said Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, RBuffalo. “It’s not going to comfort people who can’t use our state parks, or who can’t get a driver’s license.” The two sides didn’t meet again ahead of the deadline. The shutdown means thousands of layoffs, a standstill for road projects and padlocked state parks just ahead of the Fourth of July weekend. The effects were already being felt hours ahead of the deadline, as people rushed Thursday to get driver’s and fishing licenses, and park officials began warning campers to pack their gear and leave. Though nearly all states are having severe budget problems this year, Minnesota was alone in its futility, thanks to Dayton’s determination to raise taxes on high-earners to close a $5 billion deficit and the Republican Legislature’s insistence that the gap should be closed by cutting spending. Negotiations between Dayton and legislative leaders were fitful Thursday, starting and stopping with no outward signs of progress. After talks broke down for the last time, Dayton and GOP leaders gave conflicting accounts of the last few rounds of offers.

CDC: Lead poisoning rate high in Kansas By MIke Stobbe Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA — The lead poisoning rate for U.S. adults has fallen by more than half in the last 15 years, but it remains unusually high in Pennsylvania, Missouri and Kansas, federal health off icials said Thursday. About 6 out of every 100,000 employed adults had lead poisoning in 2009, down from 14 per 100,000 in 1994. “It’s definitely good news. It dropped by over 50 percent,” said one of the study’s authors, Dr. Geoff Calvert of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Lead poisoning in adults is almost always due to at-work exposures. CDC officials say the decline may be tied to a reduction in the number of manufacturing jobs that involve lead, lead paint or lead dust. One example: Employment in the lead and zinc ore mining industry dropped from more than 2,200 in 2001 to 1,666 in 2009, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Improved conditions in factories or at construction sites where lead is found may be another explanation, said Calvert, who leads a CDC team that monitors work-

place illnesses. Lead is a metal that can harm the brain, kidneys and other organs. For years it was used in gasoline and paint. Children are especially susceptible, and there is a much lower threshold in blood lead levels for a child to be diagnosed with lead poisoning. The new report is based on adults who had been to the doctor and were found to have lead amounts in their blood that are high enough to cause at least some symptoms, such as irritability and concentration problems. CDC researchers looked at 1994, the first year for which data was available, and 2009, the most recent year. Not all states reported data, but the results are believed to be nationally representative, Calvert said. Although the national average in 2009 was 6 cases of lead poisoning per 100,000 adults, the rate was at or above 20 per 100,000 in Pennsylvania, Missouri and Kansas. The types of industry in those states are believed to be an explanation. For example, Missouri is a traditional home of lead mining. Kansas produces lead-using storage batteries, like the kinds used in automobiles.
CHICAGO — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday he’ll stay in his job for the “foreseeable future,” addressing speculation he might leave the Obama administration following the current round of budget negotiations. “I live for this work. It’s the only thing I’ve ever done. I believe in it,” Geithner said when questioned about his plans by former President Bill Clinton onstage at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative. “We have a lot of challenges in the country and I’m going to be doing it for the foreseeable future,” he said. Geithner, 49, acknowledged the interest in his plans, noting that he’d been commuting back and forth from New York and had a son who was going to be finishing high school there. Earlier a person familiar with his thinking told The Associated Press that Geithner saw an opening to potentially leave once a deal was reached on raising the nation’s borrowing limit, but the source emphasized no decisions had been made. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.
