Letter about Davids good for farmers and more…

October 24, 2016 by Fillmore County Journal

To the Editor,

Finally, someone has talked some common sense to those bureaucrats in St. Paul.

Greg Davids, who is our State Representative, is chair of the House Tax Committee. He fought for property tax relief for farmers and main street businesses. However, his efforts were derailed by Governor Dayton last session, but if I know Greg, he will be in our corner again in 2017.

These Twin Cities politicians who want to stick it to farmers seem to forget where their food comes from. Family farms and small businesses are the backbone of our local economy; show me a strong agriculture community and I’ll show you main street businesses that are successful.

Greater Minnesota needs someone like Greg Davids in charge of tax policy and property tax relief. Not only for our farmers, but for all of rural Minnesota.

Sincerely,

Eric Johnson
Houston, MN
