Letters to the Editor

As many of you know… we lost a very dedicated employee last week… Tony Braaten. Tony had served several years for the Village as the grounds keeper. He was very meticulous at what he did and his workmanship and care for the Village was noticed by many. The Village would receive many compliments on how…

What is happening in California? Surly it can’t be the ever popular governor Newsome, nephew of the powerful Nancy Pelosi, he is so popular he was given a 3.5 million dollar mansion tax free. Maybe it’s the skyhigh taxes that Californians are enduring with no tangible results or the constant lockdowns with no small businesses…

Recently I found out that our local municipalities are in the process of buying new DOMINION VOTING machines. I talked to our local clerk at the December Town of Tiffany meeting. She mentioned that the clerks from all of the townships in Dunn County were soon to have a Zoom conference call to discuss what…

I’m Disappointed The last village of Boyceville meeting involved taking action on an abbreviated “SRTS” agenda item that affects our kids safety.  If you don’t recognize “SRTS” it’s an acronym that means Safe Route To School. It’s very clear that through either intent or neglect the parties affected weren’t properly notified. There is state law…

In the present political climate that we live in, most of us are acutely aware of the potential pitfalls of spreading misinformation, intentional or otherwise. A couple of weeks ago, the residents of the town of Forest received a mailing from a former town board member. In this letter, the author stated that he had…
