Governor-Elect Mark Dayton has hired longtime Minnesota Senate employee Peter Wattson to be as his general counsel.
Wattson served as Senate counsel and secretary of the Senate. His expertise includes redistricting, election law and finance. In a news release, Dayton said he was delighted to have Wattson joining his office.
"His experience will serve our state well, as we address its significant fiscal challenges, Dayton said. Mr. Wattson has worked for the Senate Finance Committee since 1975 and has extensive experience drafting appropriations and bonding bills. A bonding bill in the coming session will be critical to getting Minnesota's economy going and creating jobs in the construction industry and building trades. He also brings four decades of experience in redistricting."
