Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey expects to announce a negotiated deal Thursday to recoup $100,000 from Target Center operator ASM Global for the cost of hosting President Donald Trump s October 2019 rally at the city-owned arena. We are recovering half of what we can get under the law, Frey said, adding: We have a duty to protect free speech, but we don t have a duty to subsidize it.
The deal is subject to City Council approval and could come up for a vote as soon as Feb. 12.
