History was made on February 2nd when 34 strong DFL Senators at the Minnesota State Capitol delivered the critical commitment to safeguard our children's future. They defeated heavy opposition seeking to put profit above the well-being of our children and future generations.
In Minnesota, we are ready to meet the climate challenge head-on and deliver an equitable clean energy future that ensures the health and well-being of Minnesotans and our environment for generations to come.

The Lake County Press has invited the current state legislators for our region to share regular reports with our readers. Their updates are original content written expressly for this publication in order to give constituents insight to what they are working on at the state capitol. Representative Roger Skraba starts off this new column.

Letters to the editor, columns, and cartoons are the opinions of the contributors and not necessarily the Lake County Press. While we encourage readers to submit letters to the editor on issues they feel strongly about, we encourage writers to be respectful to one another. We also ask that letters include name, address, and phone number. Anonymous submissions or letters of questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged. The Lake County Press also asks that letters be no longer than 350 words; however, at the editor’s discretion, longer submissions may be published occasionally. All letters are subject to editing for length, clarity, and libelous content. Letters can be submitted to editor@lakecountypress.news.
