The Minnesota State Capitol is one of Minnesota’s important assets. In spite of that, we have let this outstanding building deteriorate for years. Anyone who has been in this building in the last few decades is probably aware of some of the crumbling walls and other details that need to be addressed. At what point do we take action to prevent this very special building from deteriorating, to take action to preserve it for the next generation? We now have a Governor and legislators who are willing to take on this task and it is important that they receive your support.
In fact, the same thing could be said for the deterioration of our roads, bridges and other infrastructure. It is time for us to step up and be responsible stewards. It is time for us to consider the legacy we inheirited and the legacy we will leave. The editorial in today’s Star Tribune, http://www.startribune.com/opinion/editorials/253831931.html ,
does a good job of sorting through the importance of the bonding bill and the importance of taking care of Minnesota’s assets
