Claire Askelson

"I’m against municipalization in Decorah because a MEU is a want as opposed to a need for Decorah. Decorah needs to focus on improved streets and a city sewer treatment plant to accommodate growth for the city."
Julie Askelson

"I’m against municipalization in Decorah because I’m not sure the city can lower rates and keep the system up to date. I’m also concerned about reliability and the city’s ability to respond to emergencies."
