The Lake of the Woods dam issue has gotten out of hand.
On top of the poor economy, taxes due, and Christmas right on our heels, the residents are being forced to pay a $1,200 additional assessment by Dec. 1 in total, or in increments with 6 percent interest added on, to fix a dam that many are saying doesn't need fixing.
The state is being "generous" by giving a grant of $1 million, with LOW residents having to make up the difference of $5 million.
People are also complaining that the battlefield will be ruined with the addition of Walmart. Has anyone realized that Lake of the Woods was built on battlefield?
