Letter - Proud of outstanding police forces

Letter - Faith in people boosted
On Friday, February 5, I was driving along County Road 45 when I hit a patch of black ice. I went for a scary ride before I ended up in the ditch on the wrong side of the road.

Letters - Financially elite farmers
As average citizens of the 7th Congressional District struggle with today’s financial mess, including home foreclosure, health care costs, and job loss, Congressman Collin Peterson focuses his attention on continued government support for the district’s financial elite – its farmers – who, even with record income over the last four years, still receive annual government subsidy checks, plus an even bigger perk of subsidized crop insurance.

Letter - Why spend tax dollars to create jobs?
