Amy Bergeron, Sartell GREAT again? Where did we start losing perspective in our thinking about “true” greatness? It wasn’t that long ago when we thought it honorable to consider less of ourselves and more about the common good in our religion and politics. Minnesota had strong leaders like Hubert Humphrey and Arne Carlson who acted thus. President Kennedy famously stated,
A great mayor
Kristopher J Ambuehl, former city administrator As the former St. Joseph city administrator, I find myself in a rare position to be able to endorse a candidate in the St. Joseph mayor’s race.
