Former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton said he's honored to get the endorsement of AFSCME Council 5. The DFLer said the union's backing will bring "enormous political strength" to his campaign.
I read Seide's comments about Dayton being a good boss, and somewhat facetiously, thought that being the only member of Congress to move his stafffers out of the Senate Office Buildings has finally payed off for him.
Whatever else anyone thinks about how Dayton handled that incident, he certainly showed he cared about his employees' well-being.
