On this week’s edition of At Issue, Tom Hauser covers a bill regarding the rideshare ordinance in Minneapolis, proposed funding for Minnesota State Patrol headquarters and talks with Congressman Pete Stauber.

We are now 24 days from an ordinance going into effect in Minneapolis that could drive Uber and Lyft out of the city.

Gov. Tim Walz highlighted one of his top bonding bill requests this week. He proposed $22 million for planning and land acquisition for a new Minnesota State Patrol headquarters saying it’s time to bring State Patrol operations under one roof.

The latest twist in sports betting in Minnesota is something called “Historical Horse Racing,” which involves betting on horse races that have already happened.
