The “what’s the deal with that?” season is officially underway in Minnesota politics, with the release today of a short film for Senate candidate Kurt Bills.
It hits a Twilight Zone theme, if you couldn’t tell. Bills apparently produced the film for the Minneapolis 48 Hour Film Project, in which filmmakers get two days to make a film.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
