Vets against Issue 2

Vietnam era military veteran Larry Mengerink speaks out against State Issue 2 in Memorial Park, stating his opinion that Senate Bill 5, for which Issue 2 is a referendum, discriminates against veterans, as well as takes away collective bargaining rights for teachers, firefighters and other public employees (see article on the three state issues and other election information in Saturday’s independent).
