From today's Morning Hot Dish:
One sign that the vitriol of the shutdown left no hard feelings between Republican House Speaker Kurt Zellers and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton: "We can be trusted with small firearms right next to each other," said Zellers.
Zellers will join Dayton's hunting party at the First Annual Governor's Pheasant Opener this weekend. Also along: Zeller's 7-year-old black lab, Garske.
Zellers said he and Dayton have become "quite good friends" and besides, he said, he'll take "any excuse to go hunting."
