There's more to the governor's job during the session than signing some bills, vetoing others and berating stadium opponents.
Today, Gov. Mark Dayton has a schedule full of official greetings and appearances, in addition to a slate of meetings with legislators and officials.
On the governor's agenda are welcoming remarks for:
