Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2226809/fan_mail/new] Is Walz more focused on Minnesota or his national brand?

Finally, House DFLers are trying to stop cities from flying the old Minnesota flag. Will they succeed? On the back half, Matt Dean breaks down the Hennepin County Medical Center’s budget crisis and what should be done. QOTD: What should the state flag be? Old, new, or something else?

Is he trying to be the next Bernie Sanders? Good news back home, as U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber secures a major victory and brings Minnesota one step closer to critical mineral mining (which no, will not destroy — or even touch — the Boundary Waters).
