As the Minnesota Legislature’s 2024 session enters its final two weeks, there is much to be accomplished in terms of votes, negotiations, and unexpected developments.

On Friday at noon, MPR News host Brian Bakst will be discussing the construction financing plan with the chair of the House Capital Investment Committee as it nears completion.
