Letters to the editor: Please open government offices

The Our View in the April 2 issue of the Pine Knot News took the words right out of my mouth. Please open Cloquet City Hall for customer service. When I’ve been there to pay my water bill, I’m almost always the only customer there. Are the employees worried about crowds? I bet most of them visit stores like Walmart or Super One, where they are exposed to many more people not barricaded by a glass window.

I think continuing to shut out the public is flirting with overkill. The same could be said for that new county services building in the middle of town.
