You’re headed out of Hastings soon. You’re going to take Highway 61 north, and you’re going to cross the bridge. We are giving you permission to use the right-hand lane. The Minnesota Department of Transportation wants you to. We want you to. So, go ahead and do it.

To the editor, Representative Kline is at it again. He has consistently opposed funding that benefits our community and then, when these projects move forward despite his opposition, he takes credit for the outcome. He has done this on veterans issues, where he gets a zero rating from the Disabled Veterans of America, and now he is doing it on transportation.
