Gov. Mark Dayton plans to leave Mayo, return to St. Paul for Thanksgiving

Gov. Mark Dayton said Tuesday he has plans to celebrate Thanksgiving in St. Paul after a monthlong Mayo Clinic stay following post-surgery damage to his lungs.

In a conference call with reporters from his hospital room, the governor said he planned to return to the governor’s residence on Wednesday. The final weeks of his term have been marked by another round of health problems after two lower back surgeries on Oct. 12 and 15 brought on complications.
