There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

By Glen Wunderlich, retired management executive…

By now you may have learned about the corruption (read stealing) in Minnesota’s government and all the finger pointing from its governor, Walz and other heads of state management.

In a previous lifetime in the world of management, as an executive in a management firm, I taught that the inescapable reality of accountability is that top level leaders are responsible for the actions of those below them.  That means that no matter how one may try to dodge how certain procedures are carried out, responsibility goes down the ladder, while accountability always goes up.

The Principle of Accountability is the unwavering commitment to take full ownership of one’s role, actions, decisions, and their consequences—without deflection, delay, or excuses. It means accepting responsibility before being questioned. Accountability is about trustworthiness, transparency, and the discipline to deliver results regardless of circumstances. It is the foundation of credibility in leadership.

So when Mr. Walz says he invites investigation, he cannot blame others for his lack of leadership and credibility; he has already failed to be proactive in correcting the thievery.  He simply has not taken full ownership of the theft from American taxpayers.

Had he been head of any sports team, he would be fired.  No dancing would exempt him from the results of his team.  Why should politics be any different.  The answer:  It shouldn’t be.  That’s because in management, leaders are judged by only one thing:  results.  And, when under one’s watch some 9 thousand million dollars are stolen, the results speak for themselves.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has closed a section of Snowmobile Trail UP16 in Iron and Dickinson counties, due to a change in private land access. The closure prevents a community trail connection between Crystal Falls and Sagola.

“We are exploring possible reroutes but have no good options currently,” said Carly Graff, western Upper Peninsula trails specialist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

The affected closed section of trail covers six miles from the Michigamme River, along M-69 in Iron County to the village of Sagola in Dickinson County.

The trail will remain open from the Michi-Aho Resort, situated on the west side of the Michigamme River, west to the intersection of trail UP111, Crystal Falls and Iron River. Read more
