In an email to supporters Monday, Democratic not-a-governor-elect Mark Dayton's team said they haven't offered anyone a job in the Dayton administration -- yet.
"There are unsubstantiated and inaccurate rumors about "decisions" on appointments to agencies, boards, and commissions. In fact, no decisions have been made nor offers of appointment extended," said the email from Dayton's transition co-chairs Tina Smith and Lee Sheehy.
The rest of the email:
"At this stage, the mostly volunteer "transition team" is reaching out widely to individuals and organizations, for their suggestions of people, who might want to serve in the major positions in a Dayton-Prettner Solon administration. Many other people have contacted us on their own initiatives.
We have also established and done our best to publicize a website: www.daytontransition.org, where anyone can obtain the information necessary to apply. Everyone who applies for a particular position will be given equal consideration.
Currently, we are developing and reviewing lists of candidates. We will then conduct interviews before making final recommendations for candidates. No decisions have been made or commitments made to any candidates.
We again invite you or anyone interested in these positions to apply, and to do so quickly."
Dayton said last week that he hoped to have his lists of potential commissioners whittled down with in a few weeks.
