Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast!
Today, Grace and Kathryn kick things off by discussing Minnesota’s explosive growth of SNAP benefits under Governor Walz (the largest increase of any state in the country since 2018.)
Next, the Hennepin County Mental Health Center was cited for 90 (yes, 9-0!!) health violationsacross more than two dozen different statutes.
After that, MNDOT’s latest attempt to gather public opinion and promote the Blue line involves…a dancing puppet and a robot?!?
Then, Bill Walsh joins us to talk about this year’s four wild Golden Turkey nominations. Be sure to cast your vote here!
In the second half of the episode, we welcome a very special guest: Mitch Pearlstein, founder of American Experiment, who shares insights from his new book, Second Chance Hiring.
