OUR OPINION: Valley water-supply project demands attention
While an emergency water supply isn’t an urgent need just yet, the months-long drought and low river levels — low “trickle” levels in some cases — are reminders of just how fickle the local water supply can be.

OUR OPINION: Too much posturing, too little prudence
Throughout Tuesday’s debate, the candidates never once mentioned what’s sure to be the most important word of all:
Compromise.
And without compromise, very little of significance in Washington will get done.

If you live in northwestern Minnesota and you’d one day like to drive all the way to Duluth on a four-lane U.S. Highway 2, Monday probably won’t be your last-ever chance to speak out.
