Funding of trails a controversial topic

The funding of construction, paving and maintenance of recreational trails has long been a hot topic in McLeod County.
The paving of the Luce Line Trail, which runs from the metro area west through McLeod County, has long been in debate. Even now that the portion through our county has been paved, trails continue to be a hot-button issue in the area.
The McLeod County Board of Commissioners has commissioned a trails committee to develop a comprehensive trail plan, with the help of the Mid-Minnesota Development Commission.


Reasons given for public accommodations bill

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/13/2016 - 9:38am

To the Editor:
Since introducing HF3396, the Individual’s Right to Privacy and Safety in Public Accommodations Act, I have received a lot of feedback and I would like to articulate my reasoning behind this bill.
The overwhelming majority of Minnesotans agree that adults and children have a right to privacy from members of the opposite sex when using a public restroom, shower or locker room. This is a well-established tenet of our society.

Time to pause, reflect on funding of trails

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/13/2016 - 9:36am

To the Editor:
As I was taking my daily walk through the pothole-ridden streets of my town, I thought about the proposed trail permit bill SF 2312. A permit is a tax, and I’m not in favor of yet another government revenue stream. However, the impetus for new taxes always begins at the moment of government spending. If you don’t want a new tax, then don’t clamor for public works projects. If you want to use voluntary solutions to maintain trails, then don’t clamor for public money to make them.
