Special Session Still a Possibility for Gov Dayton

No word yet on whether Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton will call a special session to address transportation and bonding. Carleton College Political Science professor Steven Schier says.

 

Schier says House Republicans lost “a major opportunity” to shape the agenda, when they were unable to come to an agreement with Senate Democrats by the legislative session’s end. Dayton says funding for Southwest Light Rail and higher education are among his priorities heading into a special session.
