Ventura to Dayton: ‘I don’t envy your situation’

Gov. Dayton said during his news conference today that he spend his weekend throwing the frisbee to his puppy, Mingo. He said he also attended George Pillsbury's birthday party that featured several folks who know his current job fairly well.

Dayton said former GOP Gov. Al Quie, former GOP Gov. Arne Carlson and former IP Gov. Jesse Ventura also attended the event.

Reporters asked if the former governors had any advice for Dayton.

"Governor Ventura just said he doesn't envy the situation that I'm in," Dayton said. "I said I don't envy it either."
