Gov. Mark Dayton will meet with members of the Senate DFL Caucus this morning. (With their leader?) Closed press. Commissioners and staff. A call with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. (Pot legalization advice? Probably not.) Closed press.

Among all college-educated workers, Minneapolis also had the second-lowest outflow.
