The local jazz station, Jazz 88, is in financial trouble since Minnesota's Department of Transportation announced that on March 15 it will cancel its contract with the station to provide traffic updates during rush hours. Today at 3:00 the state senate held hearings on a bill that would force MnDOT to continue the $400K contract, which provides half of KBEM's annual budget. Send vibes that the lawmakers will do the right thing. Better yet -- if you're a Minnesota resident -- contact MnDOT or your local representative.
