06/20/25: Joel Heitkamp is joined by Minot City Council Member, Mike Blessum, to have a conversation about the Burdick Job Corps in North Dakota. A proposed letter of support for the Burdick Job Corps Center in Minot was voted on, and fell short of being approved. Mike Blessum was one of the Council Members that voted against it, and shares his reasoning with Joel. Afterwards, Joel also shares his thoughts and reads texts from the "News and Views" listeners. 

You can see the numbers Mike refers to through the Department of Labor.
