OpinionLETTER: Hutchinson needs mosquito sprayingAugust 28, 2008 - 7:00am — Melissa SullivanFrom Bud Morrow I am perplexed as to the why the Hutchinson City Council would not budget for mosquito spraying. The fire chief has had or has West Nile virus, whether it came from the multitude of storm water ponds filled with stagnant water or not, one will never know. But to think that every time a project is proposed, another pond is included. It just adds to the potential for mosquito infestation. The money should not be an issue. LETTER: Police supported in effort to organize unionAugust 28, 2008 - 7:00am — Melissa SullivanFrom Diane Leonard I am writing in support of Hutchinson police officers being organized and part of a union. I belong to Education Minnesota, one of the largest unions in our state. LETTER: Becky Felling would serve her district wellAugust 28, 2008 - 6:00am — Melissa SullivanFrom Ann Bajari A competent manager, a team player, a fiscally responsible person, these all describe Becky Felling, candidate for Third District county commissioner in McLeod County. I have had the opportunity to work closely with Becky since 1995 on public health programs that are run jointly in McLeod, Meeker and Sibley Counties. LETTER: LaVonne Hansen will be an effective leaderAugust 28, 2008 - 6:00am — Melissa SullivanFrom David and Nell Gehrke LETTER: LaVonne Hansen has shown she’s competentAugust 28, 2008 - 6:00am — Melissa SullivanFrom Reve' Robischon I have worked with LaVonne Hansen for 10 years and would like to convey what an asset she would be as a member of the Hutchinson City Council. LaVonne is very intelligent, hardworking yet a practical individual. She has a wealth of experience in leading large organizations. LaVonne, with her diverse background and personal creativity, has been a catalyst of many advances in our organization. CHEERS/JEERS (Aug. 28)August 28, 2008 - 5:00am — Melissa SullivanCheers and a big thank you to the young man who mowed the Great Northern depot property — a job well done. Cheers and thanks to all who made our annual Relay for Life a huge success. More than $130,000 was raised. Hats off to all. LETTER: Mary Christensen has passion for cityAugust 28, 2008 - 5:00am — Melissa SullivanFrom Pat DeWitt I would like to encourage the voters in Hutchinson to vote for Mary Christensen for City Council. She is a “hometown girl” with great passion and love for our city. She is my dear friend and walking companion, and has taught me to look at our beautiful city with new eyes and to be more involved with what is going on in our community. I am also a “hometown girl” and know Mary has Hutchinson’s best interest at heart. EDITORIAL: Supporting the Guard and ReserveAugust 28, 2008 - 4:00am — Melissa SullivanWhen members of the National Guard and Reserve return home from military duty, their jobs are protected. That’s the law. Bob Benshoof is a volunteer working to make sure McLeod County employers are aware of the law. Fortunately, many employers understand it and comply with it. But some are still fuzzy about it. “The idea is to get as many people informed as we can,” he said. LETTER: LaVonne Hansen has proven track recordAugust 28, 2008 - 4:00am — Melissa SullivanFrom LaVonne Hansen The interest and enthusiasm in the race for City Council is inspiring. There are fancy signs and articles that promised reduced taxes, new revenue, budget scrutiny, etc. But, forget campaign rhetoric, relationships and personal desires for a minute. Step back and consider what Hutchinson needs to move into the future. LETTER: Raymond Norton has the right moral character to serve the cityAugust 27, 2008 - 4:32pm — Melissa SullivanGerald Messner Webster’s dictionary defines integrity as “a firm adherence to a code of moral values; incorruptible.” I define it as my friend who is a candidate for the Hutchinson City Council — Raymond Norton. I have known Raymond Norton for many years. He exemplifies a man that almost never takes something by its face value, but rather digs into the workings of it before drawing any conclusions. This in no way implies that he is not a team player. Quite the contrary, he is not only a team player, he is a team leader. |
