Your Letters: The Social Security safety net
While Republicans and Democrats spar over extending Bush-era tax breaks for the super-wealthy, another argument is under way in Washington — and this one has the power to devastate middle-income Americans, particularly those in states like Minnesota.

Your Letters: Here comes Christmas in October
Will it soon be Christmas in October? It comes every two years. Most of the time it’s not the big one that comes every four years with the presidential race. But this may be the most important ever.

Your Letters: Time is right for U.S. 10 expansion
I live out of town, and commute in for church and work, so have witnessed the destruction of so much of this town from the June tornado. I also have lived in the area since the 70s so have heard many of the rumors about the state rebuilding or rerouting U.S. Highway 10 through or around town.

A current news quiz on U.S. foreign policy

Low-profile matters
Good legislators do a lot more than fix high-profile budget problems or work to keep the Vikings from leaving town. The best of them, like Sen. Dan Skogen, help the people in their districts push back new and costly rules that don’t make sense.
