The snow also led a hunger relief advocacy day at the state capitol to move online. We'll talk with the leader of The Food Group about priorities this year, as some Minnesotans stand to lose their SNAP benefits.
And some business owners want the federal government to pay them back for tariffs the Supreme Court ruled were illegal. We’ll talk with a trade lawyer and a St. Paul manufacturer.
