What should the city provide?

The city of Duluth is faces with some very serious issues and we need to take a good hard look at were we can make cuts and maybe even get rid of some programs that are duplicated by the State.

The city must provide these services, police, fire, and ambulance. They must also provide street up keep and maintains, this would include plow service in the winter, and street cleaning in the summer. I think it is also okay that the city controls the water and gas and services a like.

In a time when the city is facing major problems we do not need to be providing services such as golf courses, ski areas, and other like places.

We must look at eliminating duplicated services provided by the state, yes that means getting rid of the human rights commission. Duluth is the only city in Minnesota that has it's own office. There are also a number of services that need to cut or discontented.
