ST. PAUL — Mark Dayton is making another fashion statement while ushering in a second term as Minnesota governor: He’s again ditching the black tie in favor of blue jeans for what is shaping up as a laid-back inaugural.

Dayton spokesman Linden Zakula said Tuesday there are only two events planned, the swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 5 and an open-to-the-public party five days later.

The agenda is more limited than Dayton’s first inaugural, which included a statewide tour. But like the prior inaugural, Dayton is dimming the glitz on the traditional ball by keeping the dress code relaxed. It will be held at the Union Depot in St. Paul with ranging admission prices and a cash bar.

The formal swearing-in will occur at noon at Landmark Center on the year’s first Monday.
