Minnesota Now: Sept. 15, 2026

from Minnesota Now Hosted by Minnesota Public Radio

Both leading candidates for Minnesota governor say officials in the Walz administration should be fired for their handling of fraud in state programs. They were responding to a story by a Minnesota Star Tribune reporter detailing the fraud response. We'll talk to him. Minneapolis has a new fire chief. Reginald Freeman is taking over a department that's facing staffing challenges and responding to a range of emergencies, beyond fires. If you're in southeast Minnesota, a blue cargo van called the Justice Bus may soon come to your town. We'll meet the staff behind the mobile legal office. And we'll hear from Lynx forward Natasha Howard, who has a new book out today about her life. Our Minnesota Music Minute was “Feelin It” by Tearra Oso and our Song of the Day was “Villain” by Betty and the Rubble.
