Minnesota lawmakers are moving forward with a public safety bill that funds big parts of the state’s criminal justice system.
MPR News host Mike Mulcahy talks to Rep. Kelly Moller, DFL-Shoreview, and Rep. Paul Novotny, R-Elk River, about the public safety budget bill released earlier this week. The bill, HF2890, also includes a host of policy provisions, including a “red flag” measure designed to reduce gun violence.
Later in the hour, Sen. Sandra Pappas, DFL-St. Paul, explains the latest developments with the capital investment bill — also known as the bonding bill — and how the DFL plans to move forward with or without Republican support.
And MPR’s political reporters break down the biggest news from the Capitol from this week.
Guests:
Rep. Kelly Moller, DFL-Shoreview
Rep. Paul Novotny, R-Elk River
Sen. Sandra Pappas, DFL-St. Paul
