A pair of bills pending in the Legislature would require transparent, upfront pricing that includes add-on service fees for everything from concert tickets to hotel rooms and restaurant bills. Both proposals passed the House Thursday. 

And 2024 is on pace to be the deadliest year on Minnesota roads in some time — from Jan. 1 through April 10, traffic fatalities were up 61 percent compared to a year ago.

This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
