“I want to build a better, more prosperous future for our children and grandchildren,” said Gruenhagen, who was first elected to the state Legislature in 2010. “I look at my grandkids and I think, ‘you’re not going to have the same opportunities as I did.’”

There are two certainties in Minnesota, road construction and bad weather.
These two came together on 17th Street in Glencoe in June.
On June 17, the north side of 17th Street was excavated up to the curb by GMH Construction of Chaska as part of the scheduled street improvement project.
Later that day, Glencoe received a couple of inches of rain. The rainfall caused some erosion of the material under the curbing along some parts of the street.
