Re-elect Groebner, Sunderman, and Gag

To the editor: I support all schools. Everyone is entitled to receive a good education. An education creates good citizens and good neighbors who bring vitality to a community through the sharing of ideas and investment of time and energy. A good education must include feeling safe, recognized, and valued. Personal welfare must include feeling safe, recognized, and valued. I read with concern, an October 18th article in the Minneapolis Star/Tribune which reported on our community’s school board election. The article quoted a school board candidate critical of the current board as ...

Exercise your right to vote

To the editor: It is crucial that we vote in this midterm election, on Tuesday, November 8. We can all agree that the price of gas, groceries, rent, and all other commodities have more than doubled and in many cases, some items are not in stock. This is all due to President Biden and extreme democrat agendas and has caused “Inflation”, looming toward “Recession”. The flood gates have been opened at the southern border at our expense, and now we are expected to pay Biden’s college tuition policy. The youth of this world will never learn to put in a hard day’s work, if we ...

School Board Elections

To the editor: In the past few months, I have seen a lot of letters to the editor asking the school board candidates where they stand on certain issues. These are great questions that give more insight into how the candidates will work on how to school our children. The incumbents were asked one question regarding their position on teaching sexual orientation to children in grades K–3; this happened in the early spring of 2022 and still not a peep from them. It is a simple yes-or-no question. If they cannot decide how they feel about an easy question, I cannot imagine them making a ...

Ag for ISD88

To the editor: I love this time of year with combines rolling, harvest in full swing and all hands on deck. It pulses with activity and life and exemplifies how working together as a team we can get tremendous things done. Agriculture is the foundation of this region, an economic driver and a way of life. Farmers have farmed these lands for over a century. Along the way we have built our towns, created businesses and started our schools. We have always been there because community and caring for one another is part of our core. It’s why the Ag community continues to step up when ...

Vote Kurt Zins in Nicollet County District 5

To the editor: I am proudly supporting Kurt Zins in the upcoming election for Nicollet County Commissioner District #5. As a past Mayor of the City of Nicollet, I had the privilege of working beside Kurt and witnessing his hard work and dedication to the community. This includes his willingness to step up, understand the issues, listen and be a part of key decisions and solutions. His commitment and dedication to serving others continued through his 21years of service on the Nicollet Volunteer Fire Department. As a fellow Nicollet business owner, Kurt also has first-hand knowledge ...
