Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton says he’s setting up a task force and will have legislation, following a Star Tribune report detailing abuse and neglect at senior living facilities in Minnesota

 

Dayton is calling on the care industry to step forward and take responsibility.  He says such incidents “shouldn’t be tolerated” and the state must  “change that ethic that people think they can do that and get away with it.”
