The last time Minnesota had a DFL governor, the Soviet Union still stood, the word “Internet” had not yet entered our lexicon, and a certain blogger was still enduring high school in a bordering state. Governor Dayton put an end to that dry spell when he was sworn into office today<\/a>. With the GOP in control of the Legislature, Dayton will have difficulty ushering in a new era of Minnesota progressivism, but I’m hopeful he can steer the state to a more sustainable future where public finances don’t wildly careen from feast to famine and back again. And it should be refreshing to have a governor who isn’t preoccupied with the business of preening himself for a run at higher office. Best of luck to the new governor and the new legislature as they begin to grapple with the budget and its dismal math. I expect them both to keep me busy for the next several months. <\/p>\n
