According to Brian Larsen’s report in the July 14 issue of the Cook County News-Herald, DFL Sen. Amy Klobuchar met at the Voyageur brew pub, conferring with the owner of Bluefin Bay, the owner of Lutsen Resort, the owner of Voyageur Brewing and Voyageur Canoe Outfitters, and members of the Economic Development Authority, Grand Marais Planning Commission and Grand Marais Chamber of Commerce. What has become of the “Democratic-Farmer- Labor” Party? Did Sen. Klobuchar meet with you? Who does the DFL listen to?
As you consider voting for candidates, especially in local elections, disregard the meaningless party labels. Vote for candidates who truly represent you, rather than those who respond to opportunistic investors and business owners. Candidates with deep roots in this area and long ties to its peoples are more likely to respond to the interests of those with limited or fixed means. They are more likely, if elected, to respect their taxing and bonding authority and to prudently spend your tax money only on essential government services.
