Tom and Doug are joined in studio by Mike McGowan. Mike's father started a landfill operation in the 60's that straddles I 35W in Burnsville. Coincidentally, the property abuts Walser Experienced autos and would have been a great site for the new Subaru Dealership. The problem is that despite following the state and federal rules, the state and more specifically the PCA has waged a multi-generational war against the family. We talk about a similar problem Walser faced with an arbitrary eminent domain issue forcing us to relocate from our Richfield campus to our current facilities in Bloomington.

Minnesota House Republican Pat Garofolo and Democratic House Ryan Winkler join us to talk politics. These guys are actually aligned on more issues than one would think. We learn the THC gummies legislation passed in the last session under the radar and will be legal tomorrow (July 1) in Minnesota. We also talk about legalization of sports gambling legislation that Pat wrote and almost passed in the last session. Ryan talks about his campaign for Hennepin county attorney and Pat admits that if he was a Hennepin county resident, he'd vote for Ryan. Unfortunately for Ryan's campaign, Pat would also endorse Dr. Jensen. These two are great guests and always worth a listen.  Finally we talk about Tom's announcement that he's leaving the Morning show in December. Doug suggests renaming the podcast "Dougie and the Quitter." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
