Gov. Mark Dayton put Republicans on notice in Wednesday night's State of the State address that he will oppose bills that shut out his administration and DFLers or that are "intended for campaign literature rather than law."
The DFL governor who called Republican leaders "too extreme to lead" last week, on Wednesday also asked them to pass his bonding bill, vote on a Minnesota Vikings football stadium and vacate the Capitol for several years to accomplish a major overhaul of the aging structure.
He used his sophomore address to call for cooperation again but criticized those he said appeared to prefer partisanship to inclusion.
