Thanks Public Safety Foundation!

🌪️ Stearns County is stepping up its weather game! We’re adding 10 new weather stations around Stearns County & equipping every public safety department with anemometers (instruments that measure wind speed)—at zero cost to taxpayers, thanks to a generous $2,000 donation from the Public Safety Foundation. 🙌 These upgrades mean more accurate, real-time weather data to improve severe weather alerts and help keep our communities safe.

📍 New stations coming to: Belgrade, Brooten, Sauk Centre, Melrose, Freeport, Albany, Kimball, St. Augusta, Cold Spring & St. Martin! They build on our existing network of 8 weather stations located in St. Cloud (2), Holdingford, St. Stephen, Richmond, Paynesville, New Munich, and Greenwald.

Emergency Management, along with the Public Safety Foundation, presented this project at the Board Meeting.

I don't know if our local news sources will pick this up. The Governor and Legislature should not use property taxes to fix state budget challenges. Read for more information.

Letter: Property taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for Minnesota's budget woes "County governments estimate the total statewide property tax increase because of these budget proposals would be over $200 million by 2029 and grow from there," write Tarryl Clark, Neil Peterson and Mike Slavik.

Incredible life saving acts - thank you!
