LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Seeking deficit solution that is fair to education, the economy, business and families

Wednesday, 28 November 2012 11:18 Raymond Dehn, Representative Elect Minnesota House District 59B

I am humbled and honored by this responsibility and pledge to always put the needs of the district and the state before politics and special interests.

My father took care of coffee trees, which was a staple commercial product that sustained most of the families. So my brothers and I tended to the coffee when we were not in school."
