This year's Minnesota legislative session has been relatively quiet compared to last year but Gov. Mark Dayton still has some contentious issues before him, including the gun bill and the looming battle over the Vikings stadium. There also appears to be some lingering ill will between the governor and GOP leaders over last year's government shutdown.
