After a week off, the KROC-AM news team is once again back together to talk about this week’s big stories.

Kim David talks about the City Council’s look at our current garbage hauling arrangement and opening talks on what other possibilities there may be in terms of how Rochester’s garbage is handled. Any decisions are probably at least a year away.

Andy Brownell discusses two recently-approved development projects in downtown Rochester and the value that those may have because of the parking component that is included in each. He shares concerns that other projects may not even be allowed to have parking space included if some DMC Committee members get their way.

Rich Peterson talks about the Wild’s demise, the Twins rise and a rookie hitting a home run off his first major league pitch.
