Statewide Conversation May 21 - Governor Tim Walz

In our final Statewide Conversation Governor Tim Walz joined us to talk about the current state of the pandemic in Minnesota.  He looked back at how the state handled things - and reflected that he could have done things differently that might have lessened the political polarization. 

Thanks to AMPERS - diverse radio for MN Communities for creating this conversation that kept us up to date over the last 14 months.  Special thanks to Joel, Erin, Justus and Sarah Bignall. 

We are pausing this conversation, and brainstorming with the Lt. Governor about future topics that affect the State of Minnesota. 

Since stepping into the role of CEO/General Manager in early 2022, Sarah Bignall has led Northern Community Radio through a period of significant growth. Under her leadership, the station has expanded its newsroom, launching innovative projects to increase local news coverage across Northern Minnesota.
