The bobber drops at midnight
Good morning,
đ§All this week at 9 a.m. we're looking back at some of the conversations host Angela Davis had in 2022 that resonated with us here at MPR News, and with you, our listeners. Producer Maja Beckstrom shares some of her favorites. Here's what else we have planned today.
High temperatures on Wednesday should be from the upper 20s around Hallock, Roseau and other towns in Minnesotaâs far northwest to the 30s across the rest of Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The Twin Cities high should be around 37 degrees. Get the latest on Updraft.

| | Democrats see âmandateâ to rewrite election laws |
After Minnesota voters handed DFLers control of the House, Senate and governorâs office, lawmakers who are set to lead election and voting committees at the Capitol said theyâll try to advance policies that had long hit a dead-end in the divided Capitol.
That means plans to restore the right to vote to people convicted of felonies whoâve served their jail sentences, expand mail-in voting options and automatically register more young people to vote could have new life in the Legislature in 2023.
Efforts to cast light on dark money coming into political campaigns and set up a statewide ranked-choice voting system could also come up for consideration.
âWe ran on democracy and voters and so did Republicans,â said Rep. Emma Greenman, a Minneapolis Democrat set to serve as vice chair of the House Elections Committee. âAnd so what I'm really excited about is I think we have the opportunity to do some urgent and overdue work. And I think we have a mandate from voters to do it this year.â
