Representative Mike Unes will be holding office hours at the Fulton County Farm Bureau from 3pm to 4:30pm today (March 5rh).

The amendment also proposes to sunset all sales tax exemptions, not just agricultural production exemptions, and most state income tax exemptions, credits, and deductions.
"There will always be those who feel more comfortable not venturing from
the warmth of the hearth, but there are those who prefer to look out
the window and wonder what is beyond the horizon."
