Minnesota will be receiving $4.2 million to help set up an insurance exchange by Jan. 1, 2013, the report said. Minnesota Sen. David Hann (R-Eden Prairie) said Republicans will pursue “every means available” to prevent Gov. Dayton from proceeding with the exchange, including court action if necessary.
