Wintry weather continues to buffet parts of Minnesota

The winter storm has transitioned to rain in southern Minnesota. But it still feels very wintry up north. Minnesotans should prepare for the possibility of an icy commute as the weather gets colder. Also, Minnesota lawmakers plan to put forward $109 million to help counties repay people whose property was forfeited then sold due to unpaid taxes. The move comes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Hennepin County violated a woman’s rights when it sold her property for more than she owed in taxes and kept the windfall. This is the evening MPR News update, hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
