Firefighters, police officers, library supporters, and city officials spoke out Friday about the importance of LGA. Those who spoke at the press conference gave honest, articulate responses to the question, “What does LGA mean to Minnesota?” To firefighters and police officers, LGA means a safer Minnesota in which emergencies are quickly responded to by highly trained professionals. To library supporters, LGA means a place where children can build a foundation for life-long learning, families can develop a connection to their neighborhoods, and job seekers can find the resources they need. To city officials, LGA means a commitment from the state that no matter what corner of the state we live in, we all have a right to essential services—police, fire protection, libraries, parks, safe roads, and more—at an affordable price to taxpayers.It’s time for the state to fulfill its commitment, not shrink away from it. Contact the governor and your legislators and tell them that LGA funds the services that keep our state strong.
