Gov. Mark Dayton has been hospitalized for a month

Gov. Mark Dayton has remained hospitalized at Mayo Clinic in Rochester for the past month after complications from a back surgery.

The governor said during an interview this week that he was still at Mayo because of "post-surgical complications" that damaged his lungs. He has been going through physical therapy, and he said he is otherwise recovering well. Dayton said it has not affected his ability to continue working with his commissioners and other staff members, with whom he has been in contact on a regular basis.
