Welcome to the Daily Digest, where it appears the 2015 session is far from over.

Minnesota:

Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed the education funding bill. That means the legislature will eventually have to go into special session. (MPR News)

Dayton laid the blame squarely with Republicans, whom he said wouldn't agree to his alternative funding proposals in the final hours of the session. (MPR News)

At this point, there are no answers on when the special session will happen, and whether other bills will be considered aside from the education legislation.

But Dayton did say he would work to preserve the State Auditor's authority to do annual county audits in the special session. (AP via Pioneer Press)

In the meantime, Dayton says he will hit the road to build support for his pre-kindergarten plan. One of the state's most prominent and well-funded liberal groups is helping Dayton by targeting more than 20 Republican legislative districts with ads that focus on education funding. (MPR News)

A soccer stadium tax break couldn't get off the ground this session. (MPR News)

Washington: 

The State Department wants to release Hillary Clinton's emails in January. (The New York Times)

After a dry spell, Clinton spoke to reporters in Iowa. (National Journal)
