ST. PAUL — Gov.-elect Mark Dayton says he hasn’t given thought to what kind of inaugural celebration he’ll have. But efforts to pay for it are off the ground.

A “Dayton Inaugural Committee” is officially registered with the IRS. The committee was set up Wednesday night, mere hours after Dayton’s Republican opponent conceded defeat.

The fundraising team includes advisers that have surrounded Dayton during his campaign and his transition. It will be chaired by Dana Anderson, Dayton’s campaign manager.

Dayton takes his oath on Jan. 3. Past governors have scheduled events in the days leading up to and following their swearing-in. The practice has been to raise private donations to pay for the festivities.
