If you are in the Trump camp, here’s the man you are supporting: 1. A candidate who refused to accept President Obama’s citizenship even after he revealed his American birth certificate. 2. A candidate who degrades and insults a former American prisoner of war (John McCain) and refuses to recognize him as a hero. 3. A candidate who publicly mocks a handicapped … [Read more...]
Letter about Thomas Trehus…
To the Editor, It did not come as a surprise to read this newspaper’s opinion section last week attacking Thomas Trehus. As the political attacks surface again this voting season from Greg Davids and his campaign workers, remember to listen to your candidates and take the opportunity to talk to them at local events or when they knock on your door. Last week’s letter from … [Read more...]
Letter about Recorder and Auditor/Treasurer positions…
To the Editor, I encourage the citizens of Fillmore County to reject the idea that our County Auditor/Treasurer and County Recorder should be appointed by a small group of people. We need to keep these offices elected, local and independent. We must maintain their independent and elected status so that they can continue to be a check and balance to poor decisions that may be … [Read more...]
Letter about Lanesboro Dam…
To the Editor, The Lanesboro Dam is in dire need of repair, as is detailed in an article published by the Bluff Country News Group on Wednesday, February 11, 2015. The article explains why fixing the dam is so necessary and so expensive. Our recent wet weather has increased the dam’s fragility. Representative Greg Davids has long championed this project, and included … [Read more...]
Letter about Recorder and Auditor/Treasurer positions…
To the Editor, I believe the Fillmore County Recorder and Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer positions should continue to be elected positions in Fillmore County, not appointed. The Auditor/Treasurer and Recorder represent and are elected by all the voters in Fillmore County, not just a district. The voters of Fillmore County have a proven record of electing qualified … [Read more...]
Letter about Voting for local elected leadership…
To the Editor, Vote to keep our local elected leaders! Vote to keep our elected Fillmore County Recorder and elected Fillmore County Auditor/Treasurer! Shouldn’t the people of Fillmore County continue to elect/re-elect these public officials rather than have them selected by a small group of commissioners or bureaucrats? Shouldn’t the recorder and auditor/treasurer continue … [Read more...]
Letter about Scrapping MNsure..
To the Editor, It seems like every week we hear of more problems with MNsure - Minnesota’s version of universal health care. MNsure was rammed down our throats by Hillary Clinton wannabes who believe that government can solve all of our problems. State Representative Greg Davids voted against MNsure, and continues to be a vocal critic of the program and its skyrocketing … [Read more...]
Letter about Davids supporting our rights…
To the Editor, It’s campaign season, and here in Minnesota, it’s the time of year when our right to bear arms is in jeopardy. Greg Davids - our State Representative - has come under fire by metro liberals for supporting the right of law abiding citizens to own a firearm. To be sure, Davids has earned high marks from the NRA and other similar groups for his staunch support … [Read more...]
Letter about Response to Dan Griffin…
To the Editor, Planning Commission Chair Dan Griffin says, “Regarding frac sand, Houston County officials are well aware that there is very little support for large scale frac sand mining.” In so saying, he is implying, erroneously, that there is support for frac sand mining on the scale of 20 acres, which he seems to define as “small.” Worse, these 20-acre mines could … [Read more...]
Letter about October 9-15, 2016 – National Fire Prevention Week…
o the Editor, I always knew that our volunteer firefighters provided a great service to our community. However, I did not really comprehend how valuable that service is until January 1, 2016, the day of the fire at B&B Bowl in Preston. Memories of that day will be forever etched in my mind. Memories not only of seeing the B&B be destroyed by fire, but also of watching area … [Read more...]
