We know now that a special session isn’t going to happen, but our guest Gov. Mark Dayton joined us this week before the decision was made to give us his views on the issues that have been holding up the resolution of some key bills, in this case the transportation bill and its sticking point, the Southwest Light Rail project.

Former legislator, USDA Rural Development state director and current political science professor Steve Wenzel joins us on RuralMN Radio this week to talk about USDA Rural Development’s important role in America and why it needs to be defended in the farm bill.
