In Albert Lea, people don’t hate government, yet they are fiscally conservative. Let’s help Mr. David Olson and the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce pick places to cut. We can’t do without our agriculture subsidies; we have to have our ethical subsidies; we have to have the law requiring everyone to use ethanol-blended gas, and we have to have all of our LGA money.

I guess you’re saying we have sacrificed enough and it’s time for the people in the metro areas to take on some of the sacrifices for a change.

These are all good programs but weren’t they meant to help the area grow so we could become less dependent on things like LGA?
