Preventing Catalytic Converter Theft, Introducing New Senators

Cars that runs on gasoline have a special device, called a catalytic converter, that helps minimize the release of harmful exhaust chemicals into the air. Made with precious metals, the catalytic converters are a hot commodity and of great interest to thieves. Senator John Marty, DFL-Roseville, joins Shannon to explain his efforts to curb the thefts.

The Minnesota Senate will have ten new Senators when they convene in 2021, including current House Assistant Majority Leader Mary Kunesh-Podein, DFL-New Brighton, and Lakeville School Board Member Zach Duckworth, R-Lakeville. Shannon talks with the Senators-elect about their experiences and goals for the coming session.
