ST. PAUL — Gov. Mark Dayton made the rounds of more Minnesota cities along flood-swollen rivers Tuesday to meet with emergency managers and local elected officials.

Dayton visited four more communities that are still dealing with historic flooding or have started cleaning up. In Mendota, a tiny town just south of St. Paul, he got an up-close look at a ridge on the verge of sliding into evacuated homes and heard from residents navigating well-water and insurance claim issues.

The governor hasn’t ruled out a special legislative session if available state emergency aid runs out. He said a federal disaster request is coming together and he plans to personally lobby President Barack Obama during a visit to Minnesota this week.

“The Canadian border is impacted and the Iowa border is impacted, and a lot of places in between are impacted,” Dayton said. “I haven’t seen something this widespread.”

Dayton’s flood travels last week included visits to Luverne in the southwest corner of the state and International Falls on the northern border.
