Meyer deserves credit, not condemnation (4/28/2021)
It’s sad, fundamentally unfair, and dangerous to the democratic process when conscientious public officials such as Winona County Commissioner Chris Meyer are criticized with oversimplified opinions about a complex public-policy issue.
In his April 21 letter in the Post, Jayston Seeling is just plain wrong in stating the new jail will be “much larger than what is needed in our county” the new jail will be rated for three fewer beds than the current jail, and its capacity will be based on extensive research. Furthermore, Seeling should credit rather than criticize Meyer for basing her vote partly on abiding by state law requiring the county to provide “a suitable and sufficient jail.”
