Episode Details

The Minnesota Legislature has six days left to get anything done before the May 17th deadline, but with no budget requirement this session, lawmakers might not pass anything significant at all. Host Sean McPherson talks with former DFL state senator Jeff Hayden and Republican lobbyist Brian McDaniel about what's passed, what's still possible, and how leadership is managing the session with a lame-duck governor and a speaker running for governor. Plus, Sean shares why Lynx games are the best sports ticket in the Twin Cities this summer.
