The latest: A mood of heightened urgency seemed to prevail at the Capitol on Friday as Gov. Tim Pawlenty and all of the top legislative leaders met at length for the first time in weeks. Leaders of the DFL-controlled Senate lowered the income tax rate they proposed for high-income Minnesotans and offered other compromises.

What’s next: Another high-level meeting was scheduled for this afternoon.
