Statement on Governor Dayton’s State of the State

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

St. Paul, Minnesota — Tonight Governor Dayton delivered his State of the State address, outlining his proposals to build a better Minnesota.

Assistant Majority Leader Rep. John Ward (DFL – Baxter) released the following statement:

“Governor Dayton has shown tremendous leadership and I applaud his positive vision for Minnesota’s future. The last decade of cuts, gimmicks, and no revenue has squeezed our middle class and has hurt our state’s chances for long-term prosperity. I share Governor Dayton’s priority of investing in education because a good education system is essential to developing the highly-skilled workforce that will attract and retain businesses for our state, and strengthen our middle class.

“I look forward to working with the governor and my colleagues in the legislature to build a brighter future and a better Minnesota.”
