Join us in voting Kaehler for state senate
Oct 21, 2020
My wife Joanne and I have already voted for Ralph Kaehler to become the only active farmer in the Minnesota Senate.

Marina point changes will come as surprise
Oct 21, 2020
It sounds like people were surprised by the Lake City natural gas improvement project and the associated disturbance of public and private property. People will be surprised this spring by the destruction of the green space and trees on Marina Point when they move seven additional trailers to the...
Nichols has the right qualities to lead
Oct 21, 2020
I was pleased to see so many wonderful letters supporting Mayor Mark Nichols for mayor in this past week’s Graphic. I see no purpose in repeating what others have written.
Mark has always shown a genuine concern for the health and welfare of others. This is the most important quality to look for...
No more election letters
Oct 21, 2020
This is the last issue where letters about the 2020 election will appear in Graphic before the Nov. 3 general election, except under very narrow circumstances where a candidate is allowed to rebut a claim made about them in a letter in this week’s issue.
To read all the election letters and other...

Time for a change of leadership in Lake City
Oct 21, 2020
I think it is time for a change in leadership for the community.
Mayor Mark Nichols and several on the city council like Jason DeVinny and Russell Boe are out of touch with the people of this community and the needs of the community.
This can be demonstrated by a couple of their recent decisions...
Vote for one step forward, not two steps backward
Oct 21, 2020
In 2007 there was a popular country song titled “One step forward two steps back” which was done by the Desert Rose band. Well today, Lake City is faced by this one step forward or two steps back dilemma. Do we move forward or do we move two steps back? What I am referring to is the mayor and city...
