In a city struggling to maintain police officer staffing levels, the Minneapolis City Council is holding public hearings on a tentative union contract that would make Minneapolis officers some of the highest paid in the state.

MPR News reporter Jon Collins reported on the nearly four hour meeting on Tuesday night.
