Dayton Says All Sides Must 'Rise Above' Gridlock
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says he's willing to meet newly emboldened state House Republicans half way on key issues facing the state as long as they reciprocate.
Dayton, who won a second term Tuesday, said all sides must rise above their differences to avoid government gridlock. Republicans captured House control, giving them a seat at the table they lacked in the past two years.
Dayton called Republican House leader Kurt Daudt to congratulate him. Daudt is in line to become speaker, although that isn't assured.
At a news conference Wednesday, the governor said "it takes two to tango. You can't dance alone."
He said regulatory policies and child care tax credits are areas where they could work together. The Senate remains in Democratic hands.
