LETTER: Stop painting Egan as a martyr
Lately, I've read a slurry of letters that attempt to diminish the severity of Mayor Dennis Egan’s ethical breech of conduct in accepting a lobbying position with the Minnesota Industrial Sand Council. The writers make inflated references to lynch mobs, freedom, shame, and disrespect. The most absurd is that he took his new position to simply “feed his family.”

Letter: We need a three-legged frac bill
I thank Sen. Matt Schmit for introducing a frac sand bill at the Capitol last Tuesday. His bill is a “three-legged stool” which contains a state moratorium, a generic environmental impact statement and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency standards.
