## Resource

Today, we explore the art of Twin Cities patio season with restaurant critic Kirstie Kimball, from temperature tolerance to tipping etiquette. Also, the Minnesota Senate passed a comprehensive gun violence prevention bill by just one vote, and advocates are making a final push to get it through the House before the session ends. Protect MN's director and an Annunciation School parent share why they believe this could be the best opportunity in years to strengthen protections for Minnesota families.
