This editorial and the pulling of the FMH forum is all about money. It's as plain as day. Many people in this area know what is going on but I guess they think we are as dumb as stumps. Not so. I guess integrity is one thing that is sold for the almighty dollar. Hope they can live with selling out.

Save your breath, be patient, eventually this guy will convince our leaders to give all the city’s assets away to corporations. Sooner than later he will talk his way out of job and a community. And the media that pedals his propaganda will become nothing more than company bulletins, if they are not already. Then all of us humble refugees can live or vacation in the still democratic community of Ranier,or on Rainy Lake just a couple miles east of the gated compound of Boise Falls. In addition, we can use the new Hwy 332 road to get to the new St. Mary’s Doctor’s Hospital. On the way home you can shop at the new Hwy 332 Business District. You wont have to be annoyed by all those drunken, pot smoking workers because they will be living in the Boise Falls man camp; they can fill all of those vacant houses in what we now call International Falls. If you have time, you might even be able to drive by the old FTZ Wildlife Park on your ATV. Sure this guy is changing International Falls for the worse, but look at the tourism and economic potential he is creating for Ranier and Rainy Lake.

I wonder who wrote this

I wonder who wrote this thing called an editoral? Who ever wrote it was insired by some one else, because it sounds like the person who represented the county at the fiasco that some call a dispute hearing that dealt with 332 and the Burner road, and oh,oh, who was that who represented the county? Sure a commissioner was there and said a few words and a county enginneer babbled too, but someone else was there from a big company in town and he did most of the speaking and some of the wording of this editorial sounds like him, em em?

City must move forward

Tom Sorel made a smart move in the first few days of his appointment as Minnesota’s newly appointed transportation commissioner.
Sorel accepted a recommendation that allows Koochiching County to designate a county state aid highway within the city limits and to prepare final construction plans for it without city approval.
The action, stemming from recommendations of a Minnesota Department of Transportation Dispute Resolution Board, means that the county may move forward with its plan to relocate the northern entrance of Minnesota Highway 332 about one mile east of its existing location.
