Governor Mark Dayton said Tuesday that talks about an emergency package appear to have fizzled amid tepid response from the Legislature and now it is not likely a special session for Lake Mille Lacs will happen. GOP lawmakers blamed Dayton for not laying out a clear plan. His administration circulated draft bill language to legislative leaders Monday that included no-interest loans to resorts, sporting goods stores, restaurants and other businesses experiencing a downturn in revenue since the early August halt of walleye fishing. Each business would have qualified for up to $100,000. The proposal also called for property tax abatements. It would have launched an enhanced state tourism promotion plan.
