Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The approved levy directly boosts city revenue for Wadena. Council member Duke Harrison noted that the police department budget is up significantly, and Wadena Police Chief Naomi Plautz is currently seeking a $50,000 grant from Sourcewell that could reduce the department’s budget.
