     To the Editor,   There has been much discussion throughout the state and in our community about the universal school meals bill. Under this legislation, state taxpayers would pay for all K-12 students to receive both breakfast and lunch at no cost. This bill may seem well-intended, but once you review the details, it’s clear that… Read More

     To the editor, Large efforts have been made to achieve two school referendum plans and the marketing has been top notch but a number of legitimate questions/concerns have been raised and remain unanswered to the best of my knowledge.  The heating system is overdue for an upgrade and should be addressed as a priority.  One has… Read More

    The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda It’s tax preparation time again, and farmers all over the world are turning into creative accountants as they produce the one thing they can count on from their farm: tax deductions. Sure, there must be a farmer somewhere who sold beans when they hit 12 bucks this past year, but they’re rarer… Read More

    To the Editor, Do Minnesotans want infanticide as law? Do we want Walz’s infamous approval and signature on this heinous law that the DFL wants passed? One of the lines of code in this bill – H.F. 91/S.F. 70 – remove the requirement for an abortionist to provide medical assistance to a baby who is born alive… Read More

    To the Editor, Not much changed in the plan for the school. Not much has changed at all. What has stayed the same is buildings do not educate students. Inflation is at an all-time high, and wages cannot support additional taxes. Granted the health and safety issues could be addressed with the COVID dollars the school… Read More

    To the Editor, Can I express my opinion on the upcoming school referendum? There’s an old saying “don’t say anything if you haven’t got a dog in the fight” or something to that effect. Well, I haven’t got a very big dog and he’s a “lover not a fighter” and “his bark is worse than his… Read More
