Eagan reader Heather Huppert contacted Whistleblower after using the comment form on Gov. Mark Dayton's website (www.mn.gov/governor) to send him a note about the shutdown. She chose "State Government Shutdown" from a list of topics. Here is the automated e-mail response from Dayton's office: "Thank you for contacting the Office of Governor Mark Dayton. Due to the interruption in state government services, our office resources are limited. Please know that we appreciate your input and we are committed to doing everything we can to restore full government services to the citizens of Minnesota. We will review your message once our office is fully staffed." Whistleblower thinks that might be a tad late.
