Trooper Londregan cleared of wrongdoing. Minneapolis park workers approve new contract

Ryan Londregan, the Minnesota trooper who was charged with murder for shooting and killing Ricky Cobb II during a traffic stop last year, is heading back to work after the state patrol cleared him of wrongdoing.

And Minneapolis park workers have voted to approve a new contract with the city’s park and recreation board. The approval follows a 22-day strike of unionized park workers. The union says the new contract has better wages, including a more than 10 percent cost-of-living adjustment over three years.
