It's unbelievable that you chose other workers over the American worker, and it's unbelievable that you and your administration won't allow mining here in Minnesota and the United States.

Do you think that it's fair for your administration to force constituents to purchase these electric vehicles when they're not working in especially northern Minnesota?

Having been a former police officer, I was to many violent crashes because of the inattentive drivers and texting.

We have to recognize the danger of that. And I think that our professional truckdrivers across this country see it every day, and it is horrendous.
