Sharon Rohling, Sartell
Sartell residents have been betrayed by the mayor and the city council. As a Sartell resident for the past four-and-a-half years that is what I feel and I have heard the same comments from other residents of Sartell.
The decision was made to build the Sartell Community Center at the south location without the possibility of a library. The opportunity to give opinions regarding the site was lacking. I was not a resident when voters said yes to a sales tax to support a future library. Of the people, by the people and for the people has not been honored. The citizens were chastised for disagreeing with the decision made by the mayor and the city council. Communication and other opinions were not welcomed.
Why not a central location with room and parameters for the Great Rver Regional Library? This is JUST WRONG. The people of Sartell need to be heard.
