“Tonight, Governor Dayton offered a bold vision that will build on Minnesota’s economic recovery and lay a foundation for future success.
 
“Minnesota is already recovering faster than other states; we have an opportunity to complete that recovery by putting thousands more Minnesotans back to work in family-sustaining jobs by improving and expanding critical infrastructure.
 
“Governor Dayton’s proposals are proven solutions that will directly result in private sector job creation both today and in the future.
 
“Legislators have an opportunity to produce the results Minnesotans deserve by working with Governor Dayton in building a better Minnesota.
