Today Governor Mark Dayton released the following statements on University of Minnesota Gophers Coach Jerry Kill and the Minnesota Lynx:

The hearts of all Minnesotans go out to Coach Kill and to his family. They are important members of our Minnesota family; and we will pray for his complete recovery.

I congratulate the Minnesota Lynx for their terrific victory over Phoenix and for reaching the Championship series for the first time in team history. I look forward to joining many thousands of Lynx fans in cheering for them again next Sunday.
