All Things Considered’s Host Tom Crann and MPR’s Briana Bierschbach discuss further picks for Gov.-elect Tim Walz's administration. Walz announced department commissioners for employment and economic development, commerce, revenue, and labor and industry, as well as three others agencies.
Walz will name his pick for Minnesota IT Services, the government's internet technology agency, later. The final Cabinet members will be at the center of Walz's tax policy, insurance and other business regulations and economic development across the state, as well as lead agencies that work with veterans and public safety officials.
Of Walz’s picks thus far, 50% are women and 20% people of color.
