Opinion

There is an old saying in carpentry work and other construction trades that states 'measure twice, cut once.' For the truly skittish they might measure several times before making that one cut. There are other situations in life where measurement holds little value and 'cutting' even less. I would say that permanent alteration of a local and natural treasure could easily be in that category. Yes, I am speaking about the potential development of the Lighthouse Point property. You can make many measurements of the property, but once you 'cut' it, that's it. It can never be the same again.

Watch, listen or come in person! Thursday, April 6, 7:00 pm at the Two Harbors City Hall The event is sponsored by the Lake County Press, KTWH Community Radio, and Two Harbors Community TV. The moderated forum will pose questions to mayor candidates Robin Glaser and Lew Conner to give voters greater insight to the issues informing their decision.

In the past few years our city has gone through some uneasy and disturbing times. A special mayor election resulted. It started out with four people wanting to lead us, the primary brought it down to two. Both candidates, in my opinion, are very qualified. I have given this all a lot of thought and our city, like a family or organization that has been through turmoil, needs normal and steady. I believe our city needs someone who has been in a city leadership role before and during everything that has gone on, someone how has seen both sides and has the ability to see ahead and is able and capable of leading us to a strong and healthy future. I believe Robin Glaser is that person. She has been our mayor in the past so she knows the job, no learning curve needed. She is currently a City Councilor At Large. Robin is a leader in our community and has been for many years. Those of you who know Robin through her work as a nurse, know her compassion and dedication, that same compassion and dedication she carries to her work as a current City Councilor. Robin is also President of our church, where I serve beside her, again a true leader. When you go to the poll on April 11, please vote for Robin Glaser. A true leader, EXPERIENCE WITH INTEGRITY!

To Senator Hauschild and Representative Zeleznikar, To say I’m disappointed to hear that Saint Paul is going spend all of the 18 billion dollar surplus is an understatement! I was hoping the elected “adults“ would look at this surplus as it was, an over taxing of Minnesota citizens and send it back. I was wrong! The Democrat Party once again saw a big bucket of money and grew government by 30%. Let me repeat that 30%!! Absolutely criminal in my and many other Minnesotans opinions! How can you sleep at night?! https://minnesotareformer.com/2023/03/23/minnesotas- next-two-year-budget-targets-explained/ Blue Skies…. Dark Skies!!!!

The Monday, March 27th decision by the city council not to move forward with the concept plans for Light House Point (LHP) was the right decision. Now, the city leaders should begin to develop a comprehensive plan for the Waterfront.

Dear Editor, Twenty years ago Sam Cave purchased property on Lighthouse Point and Pork City Hill. When the citizens of Two Harbors found out that he was pushing for rezoning for high-density housing, over 100 residents organized to oppose the rezoning of the Point and the subsequent high-density housing.
