À propos de cet audio

 Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Friday, December 26. We kick off with some welcome news from City Hall, where our council just wrapped up a hard-fought two billion dollar budget for 2026 after tense talks with Mayor Frey. They secured one million dollars a year for three years in emergency housing vouchers, helping folks move straight into stable homes near places like Lake Street, plus extra funds for family housing programs and a new non-fatal shooting task force, all without layoffs that could hit police analysts or other services we rely on daily. On immigration, Mayor Frey strengthened our separation ordinance, banning federal agents from city lots and ramps, standing firm with our Latino business owners on Lake Street who have felt the chill from recent enforcement.

Shifting to public safety, Minneapolis police are probing a serious stabbing Thursday morning that left a man with life-threatening injuries; no arrests yet, but we urge caution around the area. Across the metro, a Brooklyn Park man faces charges for that Benihana shooting in Maple Grove last month, and state leaders confirm ICE won't disrupt church services here.

Our Vikings pulled off a gritty 23-10 win over the Lions yesterday at U.S. Bank Stadium, forcing six turnovers to hit .500 on a four-game streak, while the Timberwolves gear up for the Nuggets tonight after Anthony Edwards dropped 38 on the Knicks at Target Center. Gas prices dipped to about two dollars sixty-five a gallon, easing holiday drives.

Weather-wise, watch for fog and possible icy spots from freezing drizzle early today, especially northbound on I-94, but it warms up above normal with light drizzle fading. Perfect for heading out, as city offices mostly reopen normal hours.

Feel-good moment: VocalEssence brings Christmas caroling to veterans at the Minnesota Veterans Home on Minnehaha Avenue tomorrow at ten a.m., honoring their service with song. Catch The Chaos of the Bells at Dudley Riggs Theatre tomorrow afternoon, or Scrooge in Rouge at Open Eye Theatre tonight. Ice Castles opens at the state fairgrounds today, save fifteen percent online.

Schools note Anoka-Hennepin teachers eye a strike if contracts stall, but local sports shine with postseason spirit. Housing co-ops are rising here as affordable options amid steady real estate, with jobs holding firm post-holidays.
