Bully pulpit
State lawmakers will be back in their legislative districts for the Easter/Passover break and it appears Gov. Dayton will be working to claim the media vacuum during that time period.
Dayton is scheduled to do an interview with MPR's Morning Edition on Tuesday. He's holding a round table with senior citizens on Tuesday afternoon to highlight budget cuts to seniors. He'll also be on TPT's Almanac at the Capitol on Wednesday night.
Dayton has another round table scheduled for Thursday and will be on MPR's Midmorning on Monday.
Republican legislative leaders will also do some politicking.
GOP House Speaker Kurt Zellers, GOP Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch and Deputy Senate Majority Leader Geoff Michel will fly around the state on Wednesday. They have stops scheduled for St. Paul, Rochester, Mankato, St. Cloud, Moorhead, Bemidji, Alexandria and Duluth.
