Dayton presses $30M plan to boost university med school

Gov. Mark Dayton pledged $30 million in new state funding for the University of Minnesota Medical School on Wednesday to help boost the school's national standing and research capability, calling it a down payment on life-enhancing innovations. Dayton, who wants the state to make a $230 million commitment over the next decade, will include the initial funding proposal in a two-year budget plan he gives lawmakers next week.
