There is an old saying, "If something is working well, don’t mess with it." "If it isn’t broke don’t try and fix it." The joint county and city of Luverne law enforcement debate affects all the cities in Rock County. Each city also pays for protection and services. At a time when new meth labs are popping up in the area and drugs are a problem; at a time when the number of illegal aliens in this area is increasing; at a time when Homeland Security is an important issue, this doesn’t seem to be a very good time to rock the boat.Perhaps if money is the issue the city manager job could be eliminated and given to County Administrator Kyle Oldre. Give him another secretary and a little raise and keep on trucking.A lot of good people put in a lot of good work on a very good system. There seems to be plenty of money for everything except law enforcement and remodeling the law enforcement center. If staring down the barrel of a gun isn’t what you are doing for a living, "thank a cop."Marvin KroontjeMagnolia
