Gov. Mark Dayton said Tuesday that he hoped to have a borrowing bill for state projects introduced by month's end and was working quickly to name more commissioners.

"I wish we had everybody appointed already," Dayton said. "we will have another four or five to announce this week."

He would not say which four or five will be named but said the Department Human Services post "may or may not" be announced this week.

The governor, who was sworn in Monday, said he hoped to have a state borrowing bill introduced by the end of the month. He has a meeting slated for Wednesday with his management and budget commissioner and the state's bonding expect, he said.

"I would expect to put about half of the projects myself and open the other half for the Legislature to come forward with theirs," Dayton said. He underscored that the bonding bill, while publicly financed, actually creates private employment.

"This is public bonding that goes to private sector jobs, private sector contractors," he said.

Dayton also said he had no second thoughts about signing the executive order to expand Medical Assistance with federal funds.

"if you strip away the rhetoric of people who are running already against Barack Obama in 2012...This is about how we provide quality health care to the poorest hundred thousand Minnesota and allow our hospitals and clinics and other health care providers provide the best possible health care to all of us," Dayton said. "It is such an obvious decision that I just am astounded that anybody (but) political attack squads would think this is something to be debated."

The governor will sign that executive order Wednesday -- a date moved in deference to the leaders of the House and Senate's legislative start Tuesday.
