Tuesday, August 26th. The city of Minneapolis is weighing legal action against a property owner who opened his Lake Street lot to a homeless encampment — city officials say it’s a public health risk, but he argues the city isn’t doing enough to address homelessness. Then, voters head to the polls in two Minnesota special primary elections that could shift the balance of power in the state Senate. Plus, Senator Amy Klobuchar talks about her push to crack down on AI scams, and Senator John Hoffman makes an emotional return to the public stage after surviving a shooting that also claimed the lives of former Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.
Also in this episode: an Eden Prairie hit-and-run investigation, President Trump’s firing of a Federal Reserve governor, record Powerball jackpots, and new accessibility improvements at the Minnesota State Fair.
