As much as we would all like the best for our town and for our children, the fact is that property taxes cannot continue to go higher to pay for everything.

Now that Boss Trump has avoided removal from office by the Republican-controlled Senate, it is up to American voters to throw the power-hungry blowhard out.

I didn’t experience The Great Depression or the farm crisis of the 1980s. However, many “yes” voters in the Maple River district behave like those events regarding credit and inflation never occurred.

Leo Bromenschenkel's letter in Thursday's edition of this paper made extensive use of the work of William "Bill" Warner, Ph.D.

Why I voted for Amy Klobuchar…

Ron Yezzi’s “My View” piece a couple of weeks ago used a plethora of words to extol the virtues of science in an apparent effort to describe Republicans as uneducated, archaic science deniers and to make a case for a more modern democracy.

Ending child marriages by raising the minimum age to 18 is an idea long past due. Tuesday’s Free Press opinion page article made me aware of this important, common-sense legislation for the common good.

Feb. 1, midmorning, I was waiting for a green light at the downtown intersection of Warren and South Front streets.

It hit me like a ton of bricks. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union speech was playing up to the cameras.

The late January articles in the papers, pertaining to what a Lonsdale priest said during one of his sermons about Islam, makes me aware of how restricted the freedom of speech has become for certain segments of our society.

Proposed City Code changes in North Mankato would remove the two-year term for city administrator John Harrenstein and allow him to serve indefinitely or until he chooses to leave or the council chooses to end his contract.

As you know, I am pro-life and against abortion. How aware are most parents to what is being taught their children in most public schools?
