The city of Minneapolis is unveiling what’s being called the city’s first “Public Safety Beyond Policing” plan. We talk to Councilmember Robin Wonsley about how the city hopes to create new services that don’t include police response.

Around 14 percent of Minnesotans of voting age are disabled, which means they make up a big voting bloc. We talk to a disability rights leader about what the concerns they bring to the voting booth.

As we wrap up July, chief meteorologist Paul Huttner looks back at just how much rain we got.

Our summer festival spotlight takes us to the 90th year of Kolacky days in Montgomery.

And we meet a Minnesotan who you can watch on Netflix compete in the social strategy show “The Mole.”
