Politics Friday: Digging into the one-day special session
Description
Minnesota lawmakers are breathing a bit easier now that they’ve finally adopted a new budget — roughly $66 billion over the next two years.
The Legislature met earlier this week for a special session to get the work done. There were protests, long debates, stories of immigration, but lawmakers managed to pass 15 bills in less than one day.
On this special podcast edition of Politics Friday, MPR politics editor Brian Bakst and reporter Ellie Roth take us through the action.

Politics Friday won’t be coming to you every Friday this summer but will appear here and there in this podcast feed as events warrant. Rest assured, we’ll be back to a more-regular cadence this fall.
