Until redistricting is done, no one knows who may be running.

Hopefully some good people can step up and run for these offices. It would be nice to see someone like Dennis Berg run in our area to replace what we have now. Some people didn't know how good we had it until it's gone. What we have now is embarrassing!

Hopefully someone will spell "commissoners" right. You forgot an "i". Berg was a nice guy. Matt Look is an excellent representative. He asks tough questions and demands results. We need more of him on the county board.

Truthful does not speak the truth. Dennis Berg official retired a year ago, but retired his duties years ago. Com. Look has done things the County has never seen - reducing the levy for the first time in 40 years, going paperless to help the environment and reduce office supply spending, voluntary early retirement which saves over a million, and I could go on and on. I live in Ramsey. I keep my eyes on the elected officials. Something you may not be doing if you think the best is behind us.

Truthfull rarely finds any truth...Cockroaches typically scamper when the lights are turned on, and oh how nice it is to finally turn on the lights in Anoka County! You have to ask yourself, how did the lines get so meandered in the first place??? Could the godfather have been guilty of the very thing he now fears?

Because the former boards got something done. Going paperless? Get back to basics and get a real board and dump the baggers. This failed experiment is over. This group is terrible.

"noblindside: Look has done things the County has never seen - reducing the levy for the first time in 40 years, going paperless to help the environment." ---- I don't believe in the paperless. Show me where to acquire in PDF format ALL upcoming committee meeting packets (including ALL attachments which are required in order to understand the text) so I can attend these meetings. If your 'paperless' is only meant to 'benefit the county employees,' then it isn't being used more than 10% that it could be.
