Oct 23, 2024
I just want to take some time and recognize the great people we have representing our area in the Minnesota state government.
Pam Altendorf, Steve Jacob and Steve Drazkowski always go above and beyond for our community. Though they are in the minority in state government, they have done their best...
Being mayor requires a large time commitment
Oct 23, 2024
I enjoyed reading the letter of support for Lake City mayoral candidate Russell Boe submitted by Josh Smith. And I am not surprised by the candidate’s dedication to his kids. But, that great dedication is actually one of the reasons I have not been promoting him.

Oct 16, 2024
I am reading the letters to the editor in the Oct. 3 Graphic and am very disturbed that there is a letter in Spanish—I believe that’s the language but I can’t read it.
There is something wrong with having letters in a news paper when the people who buy the paper cannot read it.
