EDITOR’S NOTE: Letters will be accepted for the Open Forum for publication in the next available issue after receipt. Letters may be sent to Forest Lake Times, 146 N. Lake St., Suite 125, Forest Lake, or by e-mail to ryan.howard@ecm-inc.com. Letters should not exceed 250 words and must be signed with the writer’s name, address and telephone number. Deadline is noon Monday. The newspaper reserves the right to edit letters and assure that rules of libel and good taste are not violated. Letters by the same writer will not be published more than once per calendar month.
Special editor’s note: Due to the timeliness of potential upcoming Washington County Board of Commissioners meetings and the important topics discussed at the May 8 Forest Lake City Council meeting, The Forest Lake Times elected to allow time-sensitive letters to the editor to be published in this week’s issue despite being submitted after deadline.
