 I'm Dan Gunderson. I've worked as a reporter for over 30 years and am proud to tell the stories of people who live and work in western Minnesota. My work is made possible by the financial support of MPR members. Thank you. At their convention in Milwaukee, Republicans promised to make America safe again. Are their claims crime is up? True. Fact-checking the RNC just ahead. I'm Kathy Werzer. It's Wednesday, July 17th, and it's Morning Edition.
