We have some rotten incumbents in local office that just waste our time & money.
Here are some NOT to vote for:
Chris Johnson, Forest Lake Mayor – Best known for silencing the public in his first term.
Jim DuFour, Forest Lake City Council – Best known for incomprehensible union babble.
Linda Nanko Yeager, Wyoming City Council – Best known for misguided rabble rousing.
