Minnesota:

A new contractor working for MNsure, the state's health insurance marketplace, says the site isn't ready for the next round of open enrollment this fall. (MPR News)

Republicans say the report is evidence that Gov. Mark Dayton mismanaged the project.

GOP endorsed candidate Jeff Johnson: “MnSure is a poster child of Mark Dayton’s incompetence and inability to govern... When I am elected I will petition the federal government for a waiver [from the requirements of the Affordable Care Act], so Minnesota can show the rest of the country what a world class health care system really looks like.”

House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt: "Today’s revelations about the state of MNsure totally undermine Governor Dayton's credibility on MNsure and Obamacare."

For his part, Dayton said the agency still had "work to do" on the website, but defended the fact that many more Minnesotans have health insurance as a result of MNsure. (The Star Tribune)

A year after same-sex marriage was legalized in Minnesota, approval of the practice is at an all-time high according to one recent poll. (MPR News)
