A reporter bids Glencoe, area farewell

When people enter their final year of college, stress of finding a job in their field often accompanies the excitement of never having to cram for a final exam again.
That fear lingered around me when I graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth in spring 2020. In the world of COVID-19, how was I going to find a job doing something I loved?
Then something magical happened. I landed a job here at the Chronicle as a staff writer in June 2020. Not only was it a position in the field I had studied, but it was a chance for me to get immersed in a new community, learn and grow.


LETTER – Social Security, Medicare need a broader funding source

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/29/2021 - 11:07am

To the editor,
The article, “Do our elected leaders genuinely care about labor” (Sept. 15) by Amanda Bowden brings up an important issue. In my opinion, it is unfortunate that Social Security and Medicare funds are now solely funded by labor.
This funding was somewhat adequate when labor income was a major source of income in our economy. This has changed because of automation, which has made investment income now a major source of income, which Amanda Bowden correctly acknowledges.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what it means to be an American, to have a shared stake in this country and its fortunes.
In some ways, I suppose the question is unanswerable: We are a vast, diverse country, and we each answer the question in our own way.


It’s your money – Our view: Local levies should get additional review

The process of establishing and approving local property tax levies for 2022 is a complicated endeavor balancing plans to serve the public with the tax liability the public will accept.
Citizens who seemingly pay little or no attention 51 weeks a year but are quick to complain when the property tax statement arrives complicate the process. They turn to social media with half-truths demonstrating a lack of understanding of processes.

Ever since the Stewart City Council voted to exercise its 90-day out clause with its MNSPECT contract, the council has been shopping around for a new building inspector.
Now the city found one.
The council approved moving forward with Darin Haslip, an agent of 101 Development Resources and Brownton’s current building inspector, at Stewart’s meeting Monday, Sept. 13. Councilor James Eitel made the motion to approve Haslip, and Councilor Curt Glaeser seconded it. The motion to contract with Haslip passed unanimously.
