ST. PAUL — Gov. Mark Dayton worries smaller skirmishes over policy changes will hang up a deal for a new state budget.

Dayton and Republicans who control the Legislature have more than two weeks to find a compromise for a two-year budget. But there is more to debate than the roughly $1 billion that separates the two sides’ spending plans.

Republicans’ state agency funding package would kill Minnesota’s public campaign subsidy system. The Legislature’s environment budget would delay a water quality measure requiring buffers between crops and waterways by two years.

Dayton said Thursday those provisions and others like them need to be removed to ease the path to a deal. Republicans say tweaking laws is a normal part of the budget process.

Legislative leaders said they plan to resume budget negotiations Friday.

Two abortion bills are Dayton’s desk after the Senate voted to restrict the use of state funds for abortions and create a permitting system for facilities.

The bills both passed the Republican-controlled chamber Thursday by a vote of 35-29, mostly along party lines. The House approved similar bills last week.

Dayton vetoed similar legislation in 2012 and said earlier in session that he would oppose bills that limit women’s access to abortions.

Republicans said Minnesota residents shouldn’t have to pay for a procedure they don’t support. And they said the permitting process, which would require facilities to seek permits from the state health department, would make facilities safer.

Democrats said the bills are aimed at making it more difficult to get abortions.
