Shutdown Roundup: July 1
Those left out of Wednesday's ruling have petitioned the court for financial relief. As yet, no decisions have been made.
Update July 1, 6:07 p.m.: There hasn't yet been a ruling on the petition for the Minnesota Zoo to reopen during the government shutdown, but zoo attorney Mike Hatch and Gov. Mark Dayton's attorney David Lillehaug on Friday afternoon presented arguments for and against, in front of Ramsey County Judge Kathleen Gearin.
“I know you aren’t going to have a zoo today," Gearin said at the end of the Friday hearing, saying she would take the arguments under advisement. "It may have to be tomorrow.”
A replay of the hearing, and court documents filed, are available on TheUptake's website.
