To the Editor, I have come to realize I am wasting my time talking to Becker County Commissioners Nelson, Jepson and Meyer. They have an agenda. Nelson wants power back, Jepson is fulfilling her promise to the union employee’s, and Meyer is a puppet. I want to thank Jim Vareberg for his honesty and hard work as… Read More
