Minnesota Now; April 7, 2022

Minnesota Now; April 7, 2022

Minneapolis and St. Paul passed rent control measures last fall but some Minnesota lawmakers want to cancel them. We get an update on where things stand. Plus, are efforts to recruit more police officers working? We hear more reaction to the decision not to charge a Minneapolis police officer in the death of Amir Locke. Former Minnesota Twins pitching star LaTroy Hawkins traded his baseball mitt for an electric bike and isn’t looking back. They “why” behind that decision is a memorable story. And Cathy Wurzer talks sports with Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson. *Note - we can not air the full song of the day on our website or in the podcast version of the show for copywrite reasons. Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation. Subscribe to the Minnesota Now podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
