The renowned journalist/author, and guest on our show, Dane Smith sits down with host Steve Francisco to discuss his new series for MN Post, titled, “Reappraising Minnesota.”
Fifty years ago this summer, Time magazine featured Governor Wendell Anderson with a picture holding a fish with a beautiful lake in the background, declaring “The Good Life in Minnesota.”
Dane shares his thoughts on Minnesota’s civic and political culture, where we’ve succeeded, and where we are failing. Growing racial disparities in educational, housing, jobs, and health care are cause for concern. Dane also discusses the need for immigrants to keep Minnesota’s economy thriving in the future.
