Morning Edition interviews Dayton

MPR's Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer interviewed Democrat Mark Dayton this morning. The DFL candidate for governor talked about his plan to raise income taxes on Minnesota's top earners, how he's the only DFL candidate to say he'll pay back a $1.8 billion shift in school payments in two years and his decision to leave the U.S. Senate after one term.

Dayton also criticized Republican Tom Emmer for pushing tax breaks for veterans and servers but not detailing how he'll balance the state's budget.
