In February, Minnesota Counties went to the Capital to meet with their Senators and Representatives. Cook County Commissioners participated the week of February 25. The purpose was to make our voices heard with an extensive list of county priorities, requests, and concerns. We met with Senator Hauschild in his office and Representative Skraba in the basement of the Capital due to continued construction of the Legislative building. Along with other NE counties those attending are: Front row Commissioners (Left to Right): Ann Sullivan, Cook County; Rick Goutermont, Lake County; Ginny Storlie, Cook County and Ashley Grimm, St. Louis County. Back row (Left to Right) Paul McDonald, St. Louis County; Dave Mills, Cook County; Senator Hauschild, Garry Gamble, Cook County; Rich Sve, Lake County. Photo courtesy of Todd Ford
