To the Editor:
I was disgusted and distressed when I opened a recent edition of the Minneapolis Star Tribune and read where state legislators had given themselves a salary increase from $31,000 to $45,000 even though this is the first increase in 20 years.

When we think of February, we probably think cold temps, Ground Hog Day, Super Bowl and Valentine Day, all which are true. I have another thought about February, it’s also Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, a time to stop and think about love, relationships, and respect,...

To the Editor:
Well, well, Obama kicked out of the country 35 Russian diplomats for Russia’s alleged hacking the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and Podesta (John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign manager) emails. (Gotta act tough, y’know) The Dems and many others blame the Russians for Hillary...
