Mark Dayton vetoes plan to increase penalties for protesters who mess up transportation

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton Saturday vetoed a Republican-backed plan to increase penalties for protesters who clog up traffic.

Dayton, a Democrat, has said he supported the idea of stiffer penalties for protesters who shut down airports or highways, as one group of protestors did on Interstate 94 in St. Paul following the shooting of Philando Castile in July 2016.
