The Minneapolis City Council has passed a 2025 budget. The $1.88 billion budget passed after the council added more than 70 amendments to Mayor Jacob Frey’s proposed budget — a process which began last week.  

At the state level, the Office of Justice Programs is sending out $4.5 million to local police agencies around the state to train more officers. Gov. Tim Walz says the funding will cover the cost of training and salaries for 94 candidates transitioning from other fields.

And state Senate leaders again are sparring over the membership of a lawmaker arrested for burglary. 

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