Dayton sick, but briefing on Minnesota legislative session will continue

ST. PAUL -- A look ahead to the 2017 Minnesota legislative session will be missing one vital voice today: Gov. Mark Dayton.

His spokesman said Dayton woke up sick this morning and canceled all events.

However, the Forum News Service-sponsored pre-session briefing will continue today with four legislative leaders. Minnesota reporters will ask House Speaker Kurt Daudt, Senate majority leader-elect Paul Gazelka, Senate minority leader-elect Tom Bakk and House minority leader-elect Melissa Hortman questions about the upcoming session beginning at 1 p.m.
