The Democratic governor is blasting Republican lawmakers who he says are tacking spending he supports onto bills he's said he'll veto. In a letter to the GOP Dayton says legislators behind the maneuver should bear the blame if veterans and public safety departments lose out on funding.

House lawmakers gave the legislation final-approve Monday. If the measure is signed into law, it would allow more card tables at Canterbury Park and higher betting limits. It would also give tribal casinos access to simulcast horse racing. Dayton says he needs time to study the bill before making a decision.

House lawmakers unanimously approved the legislation Monday. It requires both parents be notified if their child is a victim of possible abuse or neglect. The Senate also approved the bill.

Gov. Mark Dayton wants to expand the state's GI Bill to include older veterans. The plan looks to spark job skill training and reduce the high rate of veteran unemployment.

Cases involving veterans will be diverted to a court that will emphasize treatment and rehabilitation for vets struggling with addiction or mental illness.

Senators approved the measure and sent it to the governor Saturday. The legislation would eliminate the "last-in, first-out" rule. Current law says schools can only consider teacher tenure when making layoff decisions. Dayton is expected to veto the bill.
