Reminder for letters: Letters to the editor, columns, and cartoons are all the opinions of the contributors
and not necessarily the Cook County News-Herald. While we encourage readers
to submit letters to the editor on issues they feel strongly about, we ask that
letters include name, address, and phone number. The Cook County News-Herald may withhold a name to protect a letter writer, but will never run a letter
without knowing the identity of the author. Anonymous submissions or letters of
questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged.
The Cook County News-Herald also asks that letters be no longer than 350 words,
however at the editor’s discretion, longer submissions may be published. All
letters are subject to editing for length, clarity, and libelous content.

County needs administrator for more than 1% tax
Our elected officials at the county level are embarrassing. They don’t know what they were elected to do for us.

Former representative speaks out on governor’s race
My wife and I recently moved to Grand Marais from Bemidji. Before moving here I served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. While getting our new house ready for winter has kept me plenty busy, I’ve found time to keep close tabs on what’s going on in Saint Paul.
