Minneapolis City Council approves police union contract
Minneapolis City Council approves police union contract
The Minneapolis City Council has approved a police union contract that has been at the center of much debate.
The council voted 8-5 Thursday morning to approve the agreement after discussion that became heated at times.
As some members began attacking others during the discussion on the contract, Council President Andrea Jenkins had to step in and tell the group to show respect for each other.
The agreement includes increased wages, $7,000 retention bonuses for new and existing officers — when they meet certain requirements — as well as a market adjustment
