Dayton is among the best, imho. He raised taxes on the rich and fixed the structural deficit that plagued the latter Ventura and Pawlenty years (when they cut taxes back in 2001 just as the dot com bubble popped).
He pushed for and signed legislation legalizing gay marriage
He signed legislation legalizing medical marijuana
He signed ban the box legislation
He signed legislation raising the state minimum wage
He has overseen the strongest period of job growth in Minnesota since the '90s (the 2003-2007 growth period was completely anemic in Minnesota)
He pushed for and signed legislation paying back Minnesota schools and increasing funding for schools substantially while working with the teachers unions to make state obligations sustainable.
He has helped restore local government aid after the big cuts in 2003 which led to the first large scale property tax decrease in a decade.
He has been a good governor.. certainly near the top nationally given the current stock.
