Letter about Sen. Miller is a follower, not a leader…

September 14, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

Letter about Sen. Miller is a follower, not a leader... To the Editor, Everyone deserves access to affordable health care as a human right. As a state senator, Sarah Kruger would work hard for this as she believes that proper care should never be determined by the amount of money in a person’s bank account. In contrast, incumbent Jeremy Miller followed his party and voted … [Read more...]

Letter about electing someone new…

September 14, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

Letter about electing someone new... To the Editor, With our economy as bad as it is now, our current senator had four chances to improve it: the regular session and three special sessions... and still no bonding bill. It would have created jobs for many people. Sure, the stock market is doing quite well, but what about the people who do not have money to invest? A lot of … [Read more...]

Letter about a return to decency…

September 14, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal 1 Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

Letter about a return to decency... To the Editor, It was over 30 years ago that I sat with our neighbor Elton Redalen at our kitchen table drinking coffee.  Elton stopped by after plowing snow.  I asked him who he’d plowed out and he listed several people.  I knew from a previous conversation that one of those people was not one of his favorites. I said, “Elton didn’t … [Read more...]

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, My wife and I have homes in Minneapolis and Lanesboro, but we have been living in our Lanesboro home since mid-March to reduce the likelihood of catching COVID-19. I am 68 years old and vulnerable to the virus because of underlying health concerns. Essential items such as clothing, food and prescriptions are delivered to reduce the frequency of visiting stores. … [Read more...]

Letter to the Editor: Letter about face mask mandate article…

August 10, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal 2 Comments

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, Regarding August 3, front page article “Fillmore County businesses make a difficult decision in lieu of the July 25 Executive Order 20-81.” The article concerning the face mask mandate is confusing; the reporter and businesses believe they are responsible for policing any patrons that do not wear masks and will be fined for not doing so; actually, the … [Read more...]

Letter to the Editor: Letter about revolution can happen in USA…

August 10, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

To the Editor, Venezuelan warns Americans:  Statues coming down is where revolutions start. “Venezuelans recognize signs of a communist takeover better than most anyone.” Elizabeth Rogliani, an actress from Venezuela living in the U.S., told followers on TikTok why she is concerned to see statues being torn down and roads being renamed in America. “Why do I even worry about … [Read more...]

Letter to the Editor: Letter about law enforcement officers…

August 3, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, George Floyd was killed about two months ago. The news went back and listed the deaths of African Americans that had been killed in the past by law enforcement. The news still reports all the happening related to this killing. Two policemen were shot by ambush July 11. The news media said nothing about their family, how many had been killed in the past, or … [Read more...]

Letter to the Editor: Letter about the Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund

August 3, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, Here is one reason to support Sarah Kruger as our next state senator. On three separate occasions, Minnesota voters have approved a constitutional amendment dedicating a portion of state lottery proceeds to finance the Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund. Currently, the Republican-led Senate is placing these funds in jeopardy by redirecting these … [Read more...]

Letter to the Editor: Letter about Mr. Trump passed his test

August 3, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal 4 Comments

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, Mr. Trump passed his cognitive test a few weeks ago.  He was pretty proud of this.  Aced it.  Nailed it. He would have gotten an A if they gave out grades.  Unfortunately it’s a pass/fail test.   But, let’s give him an A anyway.  Didn’t need to pay anyone to take the test for him. Didn’t need to study in advance. According to Mr. Trump, he correctly said: … [Read more...]

Letter to the Editor: Letter about rural leaders needed to wade through the muck

July 27, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, “City people. They may know how to street fight but they don’t know how to wade through manure.” I love this quote. I was born in Spring Valley. My very extensive family network all still reside in rural Southeast Minnesota. My husband and I currently live in the small village of High Forest. God has called me to be in a place where my eyes are on the rural. And … [Read more...]

Letter to the Editor: Letter about Independence is a journey. It is not a destination!

July 27, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, Politics is a process. We all have a part in shaping our country, whether we vote or abstain from voting. Our Constitution is a rainbow in the sky. It does not solve our problems. It offers a direction – a vision of what the future can be. I celebrated the Fourth of July by reading “The American Spirit” by David McCullough. A Government “of the people” is a … [Read more...]

Letter to the Editor: Letter about keeping up the good work, Pastor Stoeger

July 27, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, Holy jumpin’ Jesus! After reading Pastor David Stoeger’s article, “The Radical Left Pastor,” this old agnostic might take up Christianity again! It seems the good padre er, reverend actually follows the teachings of the humble mendicant rabbi from Nazareth known as Yashika ben Yosef! and BTW, why don’t you Christians call him by his real name? What a pleasant … [Read more...]

Letter about who are we?

July 13, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, The weekend of June 28 and since, it has come to the attention to many in the area that Brock Bergey (City Clerk and Treasurer of Canton) was attacked by a resident of Canton, who did not like to conform to one of Canton’s city ordinances. He struck out in a most hateful way, letting everyone on his Facebook know that Brock is gay, using the most offensive of … [Read more...]

Letter about Jeff Erding

July 6, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal 3 Comments

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, There is no radical left. To continually rant about left-wing conspiracy is to promote the lies and gaslighting of the Trump administration. I don’t see any democrats being indicted for malfeasance, but many of Trump’s cronies have been. I have not seen any slander of Christianity in Brian Van Gorp’s pieces, but it is rampant in the advertising for Trump, … [Read more...]

Letter about not the color of skin that matters, but their behavior

July 6, 2020 by Fillmore County Journal 7 Comments

Fillmore County Journal - Weekly Newspaper Serving Southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country - Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, I have friends that are Black, Native American, Indian, Mexican, and Asian.  They are all welcome in my house. The color of their skin never crosses my mind. However there are some white people and black people that are not allowed in my house because they’ve stolen from me.  It’s their behavior that matters, not their skin. Black Lives Matter came into … [Read more...]
