Just under 4 minutes long KSTP segment. https://youtu.be/QthmZuJdqps?si=KQXS61pHFDZQKMez

The most important thing the Mayor of Mounds View has ever done.

"A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown."

-'The Mermaid' by William Butler Yeats
