"The day to day decision made by our local officials probably effect our lives more directly than those made in St. Paul or Washington.

The county board, for example, makes decision on such things as feed lots, ground water protection and the dangers of secondhand smoke in public places, all that directly effect the health and well being of the citizens of Winona County every day.

It is therefore, important that the people we elect to the county board who are dedicated to protecting and improving the health and safety of all residents of the county.  Dwayne Voegeli is such a candidate."
