It is a pleasure to be a subscriber to the Timberjay.

I welcome my edition every Saturday and read it almost cover to cover. I especially welcome the information both about local issues and about how the issues the state legislature considers affects the wider communities of Ely, Tower/Soudan and Orr.

The Feb. 13, 2010, issue is especially informative, an issue so useful that I had to respond. Thank you all at the Timberjay for your intelligence, fact finding and everything you do to help your wider communities, including me, a part time resident, to become informed about important issues.
