A Huge Gift – as Promised
Since 1986, Americans have been forced to stand idly by as government took more and more of our hard-earned dollars. Thankfully, this week, we said “no more.” I am happy to announce that Congress passed and the President signed the first significant tax reform in more than three decades.
Another Step Taken for Mining
During the Obama Administration, Americans became accustomed to executive overreach and un-elected bureaucrats meddling in our daily lives. Minnesota was not exempt.

How to Support “Made By Hand”
Last week was manufacturing week – a time dedicated to celebrate the men and women across the country in the manufacturing industry.

Life is a Gift and a Value to Defend
