DFL candidate for governor Mark Dayton received a warm welcome today at the Minnesota AFL-CIO 50th Constitutional Convention in Bloomington, where he delivered a firey stump speech.
Dayton, who recently won the AFL-CIO endorsement, touched on several key union issues, including jobs and public employee pensions. When it comes to state government's role in job creations, Dayton said there's a big difference between him and Republican candidate Tom Emmer.
