Halvorson: A rude awakening over a new mattress
Oct 25, 2018
If you haven’t purchased a new mattress lately be prepared for sticker shock.

Letter: As GOP changed, so did my vote
Oct 25, 2018
To the editor:
I used to vote Republican. Those were the days when they were fiscally responsible and had the local citizens best interest in mind.
That has all changed. They are no longer fiscally responsible, as demonstrated by the irresponsibly increased National debt, and their farm policies...

To the editor:
Politics have become much more divided lately.
