Letter: Supporting Dave Wahlstedt for Hennepin County Commissioner

To the editor: 

Did you know that the Hennepin County commissioners purchased the 701 building for $23 million after it was assessed by Hennepin County for $11 million?

Did you know for decisions like this these commissioners are paid $97,000 per year?  

Dave Wahlstedt is a small business owner and he knows that wasteful spending would put him out of business in no time. Vote for Dave Wahlstedt for District 6 commissioner and he will hold the line the county's crazy spending habits and curtail our rapidly rising property taxes.
