Homer no function beer well without

Your daily Minnesota news roundup starts … NOW. Former Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara resigned in May amid an investigation into workplace sexual misconduct (not to be confused with the workplace sexual misconduct in the St. Paul mayor’s office) and Mayor Jacob Frey installed 31-year veteran Bill Peterson on an interim basis. Standing before the city council on Thursday, Peterson’s bid to become the permanent police chief was denied by an 8-5 vote. The driving concern among the no votes was concern about his ability to drive reform in the department.

Minneapolis Skyways Need a Better Map

Ask almost anyone working on downtown Minneapolis’s recovery about our skyways and the answer comes back as a leasing problem.

Therapists say the trauma still lingers and could take years to heal. In this episode, we explore the psychological toll the massive raids have taken on children and adults in this midwest city.
