Sen. Sams spends night in hospital
ST. PAUL -- Sen. Dallas Sams, DFL-Staples, did not return to work Tuesday morning after spending Monday night in a hospital.

A spokesman for Senate Democrats said Sams underwent tests Tuesday morning and was feeling better after being taken to the hospital by ambulance Monday.





Sen. Dallas Sams fell ill.



Sams, 52, had a busy day Monday. He was chief sponsor of a bill, passed 54-12 by the Senate, that would double the level of ethanol sold in Minnesota gasoline to 20 percent by 2012.

Sams had been scheduled to appear at a news conference Tuesday with U.S. Rep. Colin Peterson, D-Minn., to discuss the legislation. Sams and Peterson also had been scheduled to meet with Gov. Tim Pawlenty Tuesday to talk about the bill.

Sams was elected to the Senate in 1990.
