traffic

North Mankato police officer Jeremy Swenson patrols in lower North Mankato. Swenson and other North Mankato officers may have a new option when making traffic stops later this year — local administrative penalties in lieu of state traffic fines. The local penalties would be less expensive and wouldn’t go on the driver’s state record — and go entirely to the city, rather than the state.
