letters

I have a couple observations about Sen. Clausen’s (DFL – Apple Valley) recent letter in these pages. First, I agree that our political process demands appropriate respect from all participants regardless of political party. To the extent Sen. Clausen’s recounting of a recent...

We wanted to take a moment to thank the amazing community of Rosemount, which we are grateful to be a part of. First, we wanted to thank Rosemount High School for their display of expertise when an emergency medical lockdown needed to be executed. The administration, staff and students...

Two weekends ago, for the entire weekend, we were subjected to a deep incessant droning sound. I never did figure out what it was. Possibly airport plane re-routings due to a strong north wind? Do any city staff represent Rosemount at MAC Noise meetings currently? Last Tuesday, I...

The citizens of this second Congressional District again have reasons to rejoice and be glad. Jason Lewis, our newly elected Congressman, made it clear throughout the election campaign what the role of the federal government should be. Often he spoke of the extra-Constitutional reach...

In 2011, I had a health-related emergency. Smack dab in the middle of pursuing a master’s degree, the pressure of full-time graduate student status, internships, and laying the groundwork for future job prospects (during the recession) didn’t interact well with my body’s still-processing...

Thank you to the Rosemount Parks and Recreation once again for a memorable Breakfast with Santa event Saturday. We absolutely love how you have a variety of activities for the children to take part in, offer a simple breakfast that is perfect for anyone of any age, and the photo with...

There is a serious credibility problem with some of Angie Craig's ads used during her campaign to be our 2nd Congressional District representative. To the informed voter, there has to be profound skepticism regarding the role of a gentleman named Gary Huusko, who played a big role...

I wanted to take a moment after the election to thank the residents of Rosemount for coming out to vote, particularly down ballot, for our City Council candidates. I truly value your continuing trust in my efforts to represent all our residents and serving you for a third term. These...

As Thanksgiving and the end of the year draw near, the Rosemount Area Arts Council would like to thank the Rosemount Town Pages for helping make 2016 another successful year. Without the coverage that you give the arts, we would have a rough time informing the public of the many and...

My husband and I recently built a home in Rosemount. We chose Rosemount to raise our children because of the emerging population of people like us; business professionals with young children. Schools are nationally ranked and we are a drive away from businesses and amenities that...

Last August, I attended packed meetings in St. Paul where Met Council members unanimously voted in favor of the Dakota County Board’s unpopular Lebanon Hills Plan which would compromise the future of this beloved park. All people were asking during two lengthy meetings was to return...

As a high school senior, I have noticed that very few youth are getting involved in politics. I am only 17 years old and, unfortunately, will not be able to vote in the upcoming election. However, voting is not the only way for me to make a difference in politics. This past year I...

Democrats and their candidates Angie Craig, Terri Bonoff, Rick Nolan and Hillary Clinton have proven to be unethical, untrustworthy and unqualified to lead our congressional districts, our state and our nation. Here in the 2nd Congressional District, GOP candidate Jason Lewis is gaining...

Since I met him four years ago, Sen. Greg Clausen has been unwavering in his support of children with autism and their families. He always takes the time necessary to discuss issues relating to my son Noah, who has autism. We once spoke for over an hour and Sen. Clausen was genuinely...

Vanessa Demuth is a true public servant. She serves for the public good and does not have a personal agenda. In her first campaign for Rosemount City Council she was elected with the most votes. Among other duties, Vanessa works to protect our drinking water quality. When she was...
