 News were following. The Minneapolis City Council is deciding today whether to approve a tentative union contract that would make Minneapolis police officers some of the highest paid in the state. The proposed contract would get officers a more than 20% raise over the next three years. It would cost the city an additional $20 million more, and some council members have pushed back, saying they want to preserve funding for projects like a gun violence program. If the council rejects the contract, the parties will return to negotiating.
