On a strictly party line vote, Republicans vote to not confirm DFL Governor Mark Dayton's pick to run the Public Utilities Commission. Former State Senator Ellen Anderson has been serving as PUC Commissioner for nearly a year. It appears it wasn't Anderson's record as Commissioner that Republicans objected to (most of the votes on the PUC during her tenure have been unanimous), but her past work as a Senator where she advocated against "dirty energy". Governor Mark Dayton said the vote showed Republican Senators were "too extreme to lead".

  • @whoo689 Please! Like the DFL never shot down any appointments. Ellen Anderson lead the charge against Steve Minn during the Ventura administration. Grow some thicker skin.

  • Republicans will destroy America. They will destroy the planet if they get the chance.

  • "No! Don't demonize my precious Big Oil. They funded my campaign."
