Letter: Government shouldn’t close O’Brien

Letter: Residents are lucky to call Hastings home
To the editor, I read the letter by Doug Erickson regarding his feelings on the O’Brien Chevrolet situation. I’ve lived in a half dozen communities in my life and was struck by the thought that, in none of those places would a car dealer stick up for another car dealer. A car dealer might even look at the situation as advantageous to his own business if the other one goes down.

To the editor, On Feb. 13th, I attended the benefit event at the Hastings Armory in support of Jami Losh Flannigan's family.

Letters to the editor: Don’t bring hazardous materials to 3M
What is the Role of the MPCA (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency)? I have read the recent survey information on the 3M Incinerator proposal and I agree with the residents. Reading that on a scale of 0 to 100 with 100 being the best, the water quality rating is 20 and air quality is 32 for Cottage Grove and that it is significantly below the national average of 55 for water quality and 48 for air quality concerns me greatly.
