LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


Here we are

I am writing this letter specifically to those folks in School District 118 who are voters, taxpayers and parents in our district. As many of you know, I grew up in this area and graduated from the Northland Schools. I have lived here my entire life and chose to build …

Wishing will make it so?

In the June 10 issue of the Lake Country Echo, Congressman Oberstar announced the kick off of his campaign.

A friend indeed!

On Friday July 23 my wife and I were getting ready to go back home when my truck's brakes suddenly went out.

Tax & spend scorecard

The Taxpayers League of Minnesota has just released the 2010 Legislative Scorecard, grading Senators and Representatives on their votes for raising taxes, spending your hard-earned money, and creating more job-killing, expensive regulations on business.

To the Editor

As we celebrate our independence and summer festivities, I would like toalert our community to the Independence marketing campaign that Faith inAction programs throughout the state of Minnesota will be participating inthis summer.

Will they pay attention this time?

What upsets me are tele-marketers, reality shows and school boards and administrators that make decisions without researching all possible consequences.

Final perspectives on the Co-op - MPCU issue

Regardless of the outcome of Lake Country Power's MPUC regulation vote, I am offering a few final perspectives on the issue of rate regulation before the state administers the ballot count beginning on August 17-we will have the final count by the end of August.

Give credit where credit is due

To the people of Longville, As most of you know the city recently received an emergency services early warning siren in our community. The siren is located near the boat landing and should be a great asset in securing the safety of our citizens.

'Transplants' take of ISD #118 woes

By way of introduction I want to make it clear that we're "transplants" who retired to the Longville/Remer area. As such we've observed the apparently heart felt rivalry between the "locals" from both towns for the past 11 years which has now degenerated into something which could, in the words …

Paranoid style vs. foolish style

Recently I read an article by Simon Maloy of Media Matters titled: "Glenn Beck and the Paranoid Style". Maloy writes for Media Matters for the purpose of ridiculing conservative principles in order to protect socialist Maxis thought and their control of our federal government.

Operating an ATV in the City of Longville

Local law enforcement authorities have been receiving numerous questions regarding the legality of ATV operation within the City of Longville. I would like to direct you to Chapter 84 of the Minnesota State Statutes pertaining to ATV regulations.

Another view on Northland Community Schools

Many individuals have asked my opinion on the current issues and factors impacting Northland Schools. I have for the most part held my emotions in check because I live in Cohasset and my children attend the Grand Rapids schools, so, I have no vote in ISD 118 issues.

You owe it to yourselves to be involved

The decisions being made by our School Board will affect you, your children and your taxes for years to come.

So long, it's been good to know you

A new school year shouldn't start without an expression of gratitude for the years of exceptional service that Mrs. Jill McKinney provided to the students of Longville and Remer elementary schools.
