RGA gets in gov race

The Republican Govermor's Association has entered Minnesota's governor's race in a big way. Minnesota's Future, an independent expenditure group, reports that the RGA donated $428,000 to it. The report, which hasn't been posted online yet, was given to MPR by the organizers of Minnesota's Future. That group has been running ads criticizing Democrat Mark Dayton's record on taxes.

The RGA isn't the only national group involved in the race. The Democratic Governor's Association gave $250,000 to Win Minnesota, which funneled the money to The Alliance for a Better Minnesota. ABM has been running ads criticizing Republcan Tom Emmer.
