We should insist that our next generation of structures will not burden the next generation of Minnesotans.
Local taxpayers finance the construction of tens of thousands of buildings every year.
Bonding debates are often lively and even contentious affairs. Witness the donnybrook going on at our Legislature right now. The deliberations focus entirely on the need for the proposed structure and the activity to be housed inside. There is no debate on the impact of the structure's operation on the larger community. In the age of global warming, this oversight is unacceptable.
