Democratic and Republican leaders of the Minnesota House reached a power-sharing agreement Wednesday night to end a three-week stalemate that the state's chief justice said left the chamber “completely dysfunctional.

The Republican Party launched a recall election effort this week targeting all House Democrats who are continuing to boycott session, which is now in its fourth week.

The impasse in the Minnesota House appears to be over, with the DFL and GOP jointly announcing that they have reached a power-sharing agreement.
