Dayton is one of the better governors, while Walker is one of the worst

Aside from the preternaturally good Shumlin and the genuinely wise Brown, Dayton is probably the best governor in the country. Aside from the borderline felonious Scott and the seemingly deranged LePage, Walker is probably the worst.

I'd agree, except for your choice of the word "borderline" for Scott. He is literally a criminal.

Well one is my Governor, and I sure as hell wouldn't trade him for the other.

Aside from the preternaturally good Shumlin and the genuinely wise Brown, Dayton is probably the best governor in the country. Aside from the borderline felonious Scott and the seemingly deranged LePage, Walker is probably the worst.

In all honesty as happy as I am about the progressive accomplishments that Dayton has made possible, the real guy responsible for most of it is House Speaker Paul Thissen. He's probably had more of a hand in crafting most of this stuff and getting it through while Dayton has just signed it.

Is Thissen looking at higher office, or is he just using his current job to turn Minnesota more progressive policy-wise?

He ran for Governor in 2010 but his campaign didn't go far. Might run again when Dayton stands down.

Dayton, since I like jobs.

Like Nathan said, only Brown and Shumlin come close.

The technicality of corporate liability and how it played out in the Columbia/HCA case is the only thing that makes it borderline.
