Minneapolis Council Member Elliott Payne has decided to run for the council presidency. He says Minneapolis' government restructuring that gave the mayor more executive authority requires the council to take a stronger hand in legislating and government oversight.

Those stories and more in this evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
