We read every day letters and stories that people write in our newspapers, etc., but for some reason, their thoughts and support change depending on what hat they’re wearing and where the money is. Look at the time and work so many people have put into the necessity to keep a full-service hospital in Albert Lea. When we wrote to many of the people who were making decisions, we couldn’t even get a requested reply — but they claim they are all for Minnesota. The last I looked at the map, Albert Lea and Freeborn County were still in Minnesota. Let’s look at the necessity of a full-time hospital and the many people who depend on their wonderful services.
