Guest column: Support a progressive tax structure
The present governor has been on a mission to protect the wealthiest Minnesotans, to protect corporation's tax loopholes and create business tax incentives at the expense of middle class taxpayers, and homeowners. We need to support plans in the Legislature requiring the wealthiest to pay their fair share and to stop the lies, shifts and gimmicks by the governor and many in his party.

I have been a registered nurse for 35 years, for the 25 of them providing home hospice care and taking care of many patients with cancer, in and out of the hospital in the Brainerd area. I know that there have been a few patients who used marijuana, illegally, to be able to control their symptoms so that they can enjoy the days they have left. In these cases it was their last drug of choice, not their first.
