ST. PAUL— Today, Governor Dayton delivered his State of the State Address. Rep. Ben Lien (DFL—Moorhead) released the following statement:

 

"I thought Governor Dayton did an excellent job tonight of laying out the strong position Minnesota is in right now. I think it is important we use the budget surplus to keep Minnesota's economy going strong through targeted investments like education and helping all working families prosper."
 
"I also appreciate the governor's priority for a Capital Investment bill this session as a way to address critical infrastructure needs and create jobs for Minnesotans. Our district would benefit greatly from his focus on rail and flood mitigation infrastructure."
