It was overkill. Itgave DFLers a rare free hand tospend more tax dollars on pet projects.But when the special session wascalled Sept. 9, specifically to addressdisaster aid to cities and counties impactedby the June floods, the Legislaturealso could have addressed twobusiness-to-business sales taxes thathave, or will, negatively impactmany Minnesotans.They are the sales tax on machineryrepairs, including farm machinery,and the new tax on warehousingfacilities in the state. While the machineryrepair sales tax kicked inJuly 1, the warehouse tax does notgo on line until April 1.Both are expected to be addressedwhen the 2014 Legislature reconvenesin late February. Hopefully,both will be repealed.The main excuse DFLers trottedout for not addressing these bad billsYou canvoteonline atwww.glencoenews.comQuestion of the weekSmokers are circumventing the state’s new $1.60 additional tax oncigarette packs by buying pouch tobacco and e-cigarettes. Shouldthe state extend the new tax to those products, too?1) Yes2) No3) Not sureResults for most recent question:The McLeod County commissioners are consideringan expansion of the jail (20 beds) and added security measures forthe courthouse. The cost is estimated at $7 million. Do youagree with the commissioners’ plans?Yes — 44%No — 44%Not sure — 12%100 votes. New question runs Sept. 18-24in the special session was that Gov.Mark Dayton and the DFL leadershipwanted to know how those salestax revenues would be replaced inthe state budget if repealed.What?The Minnesota budget for the nextbiennium already has nearly $2 billionmore from all these new taxes,and DFLers cannot find the moneyin this bloated budget to offset theseill-conceived sales taxes on machineryrepairs and warehousing? Wow!It appears DFLers are not tryingvery hard.State Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe, hit the nail on the head lastweek, speaking at the McLeodCounty Farm Bureau annual meeting,when he stressed, “There is noshortage of funds!”He not only favored a repeal ofthese business-to-business taxes, buta concerted effort to reform governmentand how it operates. In otherwords, make it more efficient insteadof bloating its size and influence.We agree the state is heading inthe wrong direction. Maybe in 2014,Republicans can gain control of atleast one house in the Legislature toslow down this avalanche of newtaxes in Minnesota.— R.G.Dayton seeks more ofWilfs’ funds for stadiumIt is not often we agree withGov. Mark Dayton, but he wasright on the mark Monday withhis statement about the Vikings majorityowners’ finances and currentnegotiations for a new taxpayer-subsidizedstadium.While he commended the MinnesotaSports Facilities Authorityand its report on the investigation ofthe Wilfs’ finances, Dayton wrote:“Other recent news stories havedescribed the very significant financialassistance the Wilfs may receiveto meet their obligations. One analysisby Minnesota Public Radio concludedthat, after subtracting the NationalFootball League’s financialparticipation and the expected revenuesfrom stadium-naming rightsand personal seat licenses, theVikings’ owners would need to investalmost none of their own moneyin the project.”Dayton went on to add, “I stronglyurge you (Minnesota Sports FacilitiesAuthority) to negotiate a finalagreement, which requires theVikings’ owners to provide a significantshare of their financial contributionfrom their own resources, andnot from Vikings’ fans through thesale of expensive personal seat licenses(a/k/a ‘stadium builder’s licenses’).”Dayton added that the Wilfs’ financialinvestigation “shows theVikings’ owners could finance theirshare of the stadium’s costs with littleor no revenues from the stadiumbuilder’s licenses. Therefore, Istrongly urge you to keep thoseprices at an absolute minimum.”Well said.— R.G.Letters to EditorThe McLeod County Chronicle, Wednesday, September 18, 2013, page 4The ‘A’ word is emotional, with really no resolutionTo the Editor:Shortly after my “wake up andsmell the coffee” letter, I penned thisfollow up letter, and have beenthinking long and hard about puttingmy thoughts out there.Ahh! The “A” word.The “A”word is emotional – it isnot logical or subject to statisticalanalysis – it is discussed at length bymany different disciplines – religious,moral, ethical, legal, medical,political (a football, indeed, comeelection season).In my humble opinion, there willnever be a concrete resolution of theissue, certainly not in my lifetime orthe foreseeable future because it isemotional and subject to myriad ofvaried beliefs.To begin, I just want to say thatNOBODY, absolutely NOBODY isin favor of abortions. The movementis entitled “Pro Choice,” not “Proabortion.”Nobody is forcing anywoman to do anything she doesn’twant to do. No one is going tosnatch a pregnant woman off thestreet and perform an abortion. Getserious!A little historical backgroundwould probably shed light on thesubject. The year was 1962 – beforeRoe v. Wade, and a new drug thatwas distributed worldwide was usedto help with the morning sicknessthat many pregnant women experience.That drug was Thalidomide.After a while, the medical communitystarted seeing some severebirth defects, the deformity and absenceof limbs in abnormal numbersof infants. It was a nightmare. Afterresearch and study, it was determinedthese anomalies could betraced to the use of the drug duringpregnancy.During this turbulent time, headlineswere being made down in Arizonawhere a young mother of fourchildren, who was pregnant with afifth, had taken Thalidomide. Shewas a beauty queen and had a children’sTV show, a romper room sortof arrangement.Her unborn fetus was deformed.She desperately wanted to abort thefetus, but it was illegal to do so atthe time. Because she was affluentand had the resources to do it, shehad to fly to Denmark to get anabortion there. Her name was SherryFinkbine.Also, before Roe v. Wade, therewere horror stories of the backstreet, coat hanger abortions thatwere being done. Women with morechildren than they could cope withwere desperate, so desperate theywould subject themselves to thebutchering brutality. Women died.Children were orphaned. Youngwomen were rendered infertile. Itwas barbaric.Even in this so-called enlightenedera, still the underlying attitude that“she got herself pregnant” prevailsfrom those pushing these restrictivelaws — talk about the number of immaculateconceptions!The woman must be punished iffor no other reason than being awoman. You, as judge, jury and executioner,do not walk in the woman’sshoes. You do not have a clue to hercircumstances.Odds are good she is poor, eitheralone or with a partner who is unableto provide for a child. Frequentlyenough, one reads about a babybeing so abused that they succumbto the attentions of the so-calledcaregiver.There are also circumstanceswhere a woman is a student, who eitherhas no access to birth control,no money or no knowledge how touse birth control, or just an oops! —unprotected sex in the heat of themoment (use for Plan B-morningafter pill.) Could be a “date rape” oran abusive man who has access. Thescenarios are endless.No one is forcing anybody else’sbeliefs on another person. No one isinterfering with any one else’s pregnancy.Go ahead, have many children,if that is your belief. But don’tforce your beliefs onto someoneelse. You do not walk in thatwoman’s shoes. If I am repeatingmyself, it is for emphasis. You haveno idea about their psychologicalmakeup or their resources or any ofthe above.The clinics that specifically caterto women’s needs also providescreening to catch health problemsbefore they become severe, even lifethreatening. You see, the so-calledmiddle class who has always had allthis screening as a matter of courseis not the norm for the women withlesser resources.Mammograms are provided tocheck for breast cancer. All that goeswhen stricter laws make runningthose clinics impossible. One of theintents of these clinics is also to preventany unwanted pregnancy byproviding birth control if the patientcan’t afford it.Are there statistics to back up theneed for excessive requirements inthese facilities? Infection rates? Adverseoutcomes? Every effort ismade to provide patients what theyneed at a minimal cost. You raise thecosts, and the ones who really needthe clinics can’t afford to go there.The crux of the matter here is justanother method of waging war onwomen, especially poor women.There should be enough of us on thelower economic scale that there isplenty the upper class (like it or not,there are divisions) can feel superiorto without really tramping on theleast of these.Don’t you think these womenhave suffered enough with thewrenching decision to end a pregnancywithout having to look at ultrasoundsor have invasive transvaginalultrasounds? That is downright cruel ... and you ever-lovingtaxpayers league ... it costs money— money most of the patients don’thave.So, my compatriot women, let usstand in support of our sisters in thestates where these restrictions asbeing proposed. Let us stand forCOMPASSIONATE CHOICE!These proposals are political, makeno doubt about it, and they grosslyviolate women’s civil rights.

Guest opinion:Wind turbine truths blow in windDear Sibley Countyfriends and neighbors:The Sibley County GOPboard members thank thehonorable people expressingconcern about the proposedCornish Township wind farmsouthwest of Winthrop nearthe golf course.Here are a few things noone ever gets told about thefollowing destructive consequencesthat may go with awind farm:1) Road damage; 2)pipeline damage; 3) watercontamination; 4) wildlifepreservation; 5) stray voltage;6) return on investment.Road damage: Did youknow that massive oversizedtrucks, sometimes carryingweight up to 235,000 pounds,and approximately 211 feetlong (70 yards), will drivethrough Sibley County haulingblades and equipment?Did you know that duringset-up and construction over3,000 semi loads of variousweights will drive throughSibley County to get to areasclosest to the tower sites?Did you know taxpayerscould pay for road damage, ifthe wind developers are notheld to a higher standard?No one told us either.Pipeline damage: Did youknow there are three naturalgas pipelines near the proposedCornish Township constructionsite that these overweight loads will be goingover?Did you know one of thepipelines is many, many yearsold?Did you know that thesetruck loads could cause leakswhere the pipes are deteriorated?Did you know there is nomention of pipelines in theapplication and permittingprocess?No one told us either.Groundwater contamination:Did you know pipelineleaks elsewhere have createdextensive ground water contamination?Did you know those familiesnow cannot drink theirwell water and must bring inbottled water?Did you know that naturalgas contaminated groundwater may be unusable foryears?No one told us either.Wildlife preservation: DidBy David C. OlsonGov. Mark Dayton hascoined the 2014 Legislatureas the Unsession, saying he’llconcentrate on ideas to makestate government better,faster and simpler.He’s asking Minnesotans tosubmit ideas to eliminate unnecessaryor redundant laws,rules and regulations, andgetting rid of anything elsethat makes state governmentnearly impossible for peopleto understand.We respectfully ask that repealof the sales tax on business-to-business(B2B) servicesleads the agenda. Businessesshould contact thegovernor and their lawmakers,and ask them to commitnow to eliminating all threeB2B taxes in the first week ofthe Legislature, which willconvene Feb. 25.In May, the Legislature extendedthe sales tax to threeB2B services: repairs of businessequipment and machines,including farm machinery;purchases oftelecommunications equipmentby telecommunicationsproviders; warehouse andstorage services. The firsttwo taxes went into effectJuly 1; the warehouse tax isscheduled to take effect April1, 2014.At minimum, B2B taxescreate an administrativenightmare and expense formany businesses. At worst,the additional tax burdenyou know any contaminatedrunoff from the proposedCornish tower sites will godirectly into tributaries goinginto the Rush River, whichgoes through the AlfsborgWildlife Area, right next tothe golf course, which finallydrains into the MinnesotaRiver?Did you know any contaminatedwater along that stretchmay be drunk by wildlife?Did you know that industrialwind farms kill so manybald eagles they cannot get anaccurate count and no one sofar has been prosecuted?No one told us either.Stray voltage: Did youknow stray-voltage, alsoknown as induced voltage, isproven to increase near windturbines?Did you know stray voltagecan drive deep into theground?Did you know stray voltagestriking a natural gas pipelinemay have consequences ofdeath, injury and propertydamage, even for peoplemiles away, which could includeWinthrop residents?No one told us either.Return on investment:Did you know that industrialwind is so ineffective that itleads to higher rates? Accordingto the Minnesota RuralElectric Association (MREA),industrial wind caused ruralratepayers to lose $70 millionin 2011 just on the portion ofwind electricity generated attimes when the utilities couldnot use it.Wind promoters try to convinceus that the rural counties,townships and residentswho have turbines located getan economic benefit, and in2011 that indeed was $13 million.So what if rural industrialwind generates $13 milliononly to saddle ratepayers witha $70 million tab? This kindof math gets us nothing buthigher and higher utilitiesrates.That’s right, no one told useither.To our many good friends,family and neighbors in SibleyCounty, we apologize forbeing late to you with information,and we thank the othersstriving to educate us.Most people do not opposerenewable energy, nor do we.We are, however, opposed toallowing you and us to be putplaces Minnesota businessesat a competitive disadvantagewith their peers across the nationand world.That’s especially true in thewarehouse and storage industry,which already operates atslim margins and is very mobileby its nature. The additionalcost is prompting manywarehouse managers to talkabout moving elsewhere. Together,these taxes take a tollon jobs and the state’s economy.The Minnesota Chamber ofCommerce and our statewidenetwork of local chamberpartners pressed hard for allthree B2B taxes to be repealedduring the special sessionin September.Though the governor expressedsupport for repealingthe sales tax on farm equipmentrepairs, in the end thedecision was made to onlyconsider disaster relief. Thedecision is especially disappointingbecause DFL leadersacknowledged the taxes werea bad idea.Dayton says repeal of thenew B2B taxes should beconsidered when the Legislatureconvenes next year.Businesses cannot makedecisions based on a promiseof what might be done. We’reasking that legislators pledgenow to repeal all three B2Btaxes. Eliminating the tax onfarm repairs is a good start,but it doesn’t go far enough.The repeal should also occurin situations of grave healthrisk.In the last 10 years enoughevidence has poured in aboutthe dangers with wind farmsthat you would think by nowsomeone would say, “Whoa!We need to reconsider themerits of these projects. Peoplemight get hurt.”Without even factoring inthe anecdotal evidence thatindustrial wind may interferewith hearing aids or pacemakers,GPS systems on tractorsand combines, medical helicopterradio and guidancesystems, television, computerand phone interruptions, thevolume of documented evidence– which is increasing –should be enough for the governmentto put a stop to anymore wind farms.Yet, there is good to comeout of this episode . . . all ofus are being reminded, again,of the inherent danger of acceptingwhat governmentagencies and officials orpoliticians tell us as beingfact or “good for us.”We all know liberals neveradmit when they are wrongon the facts because if theydid once they would be at theconfessional early and oftenand on many issues.Conservatives concluded along time ago that liberal bureaucrats,both GOP andDFL, never quite get it rightwhen it comes to our economicwell being and publichealth or the greater good.Yours in liberty and prosperity,Mark Santelman, GOPChair, WinthropEmily Gruenhagen,Deputy Chair,rural GlencoeBrandon Ronning,Deputy Chair, ArlingtonNathan Kranz,Treasurer, rural GaylordBarb Bumgardner,Secretary, rural WinthropLarry Bumgardner,Vice Chair, ruralWinthropRae Anderson,Vice-Chair, ArlingtonDon Mader,Vice-Chair, ArlingtonJessica Wiborg,Vice-Chair, WinthropMorris Lieske,Vice-Chair, HendersonGuest opinion:Undo all B2B taxes in UnsessionGREEN ISLE — The ArlingtonEnterprise reportedthat the city of Green Isle hasregained ownership of 43 lotsoriginally developed byRosemount Developmentfor the thousands of otherbusinesses negatively impactedby these new fixed costs.Dayton demands that thebusiness community showhow the state treasury willmake up for the lost revenue,if these taxes are scrapped.We put the challenge back inhis lap. Policy-makers haveoptions.There is a current budgetsurplus plus there’s plenty ofopportunity to find $310 millionof spending efficienciesin a $38 billion budget.Early in the 2013 Legislature,we identified more than$1 billion in spending reductionsand forwarded those tothe Dayton Administrationand legislative leadership.Let’s revisit those suggestions.The new budget increasedspending by $1.6 billion,a sizable portion that hasnot yet taken effect. There’ssimilar opportunity to scrutinizeand pare these expenses.We’re confident that Minnesotanscan step to the plateand help state agencies findways to streamline operationsand still deliver necessaryservices. We’re ready to answerthe governor’s call; it’san excellent starting point tolay out an agenda for theUnsession.David Olson is presidentof the Minnesota Chamberof Commerce – www.mnchamber.com.Green Isle regains ownership of 43 lots in cityCorporation. The deeds havebeen recorded at the SibleyCounty Courthouse, andMayor Dale ZumBerge saidthe next step is the city’s EconomicDevelopment Authority(EDA) lay out a plan tomarket the lots.
