 Minnesota has a full-time Lieutenant Governor once more. Longtime Republican Senator Michelle Fishbach was sworn in Friday morning to join Democratic Governor Mark Dayton's administration. Fishbach was thrust into the job automatically in January when Dayton appointed Tina Smith to the U.S. Senate. But she resisted taking the oath or performing the job's duties for months as she sought to maintain her Senate seat. The governor has called a special election for November to fill the remaining two years of Fishbach's Senate seat.
