Some Minnesota senators want to expel Nicole Mitchell for burglary charges; Anoka-Hennepin school board dispute settled

Minnesota senators failed to advance a motion to eventually expel the DFL lawmaker charged with a felony over an alleged burglary this week. The senator charged, Nicole Mitchell of Woodbury, did not appear at the Capitol today.

And school board members governing Minnesota’s largest district have reached an agreement to avoid disrupting the annual budget process. Three out of six Anoka Hennepin school board members had said they could not vote in favor of a budget that funded things like culturally responsive teaching and equity initiatives.

Those stories and more in today’s evening update. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
