Alexandria Mayor H. Dan Ness and Moorhead Mayor Mark Voxland collaborated on an op-ed piece featured in today’s Alexandria Echo Press. The city leaders point to the upcoming governor’s race as pivotal in defining the future of LGA:

The next four years will be a critical time for rural communities across the state. It very well might be the season that determines our fate. We hope that Minnesotans ask questions and demand answers from the candidates as this important decision nears.
