A long-stalled deal to repair the state’s unemployment insurance fund and deliver hero checks to some frontline pandemic workers has been struck by top leaders at the Minnesota Capitol. The agreement would clear the way for bonuses to as many as 667,000 workers that have been held up since House and Senate negotiators deadlocked on a plan last summer.

This is a morning update from MPR News, hosted by Tom Crann. Music by Gary Meister.
