The Parry-Dayton feud
The New Ulm Journal has provided video from last night's fundraiser for congressional candidate Mike Parry, who makes the assertion that Gov. Mark Dayton "popped 15 or 16 pills" during some unspecified negotiation session.
It's at the 2:40 mark.
The assertion didn't seem to have much impact on the audience. Note the woman in the front row who keeps checking her smartphone.
Curiously, the Journal left Parry's comment out of its story about the fundraiser near Hanska.

Gov. Dayton's father, Bruce, is a contributor to Parry's congressional campaign.
The Parry-Dayton feud goes back a ways.
