Ann's tireless efforts and considerable expertise helped to obtain the State Legislature's <br /> approval of$2 million for much needed improvements. <br /> Following last year's severe damage throughout our community, caused by torrential rains, we were <br /> faced with the monumental task of trying to help our residents with short and long term assistance. It <br /> very quickly became clear that large amounts of funding assistance would be needed. Ms. Higgins' <br /> persistent assistance guided us through the whole legislative "experience." In great part, her efforts <br /> will enable St. Anthony residents to lessen, if not alleviate, the financial burdens and emotional trauma <br /> caused by the terrific flooding of their homes. <br /> We are indeed grateful to the League of Minnesota Cities organization and Ms. Higgins. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF ST. ANTHONY <br /> Clarence J. Ranallo, Mayor <br /> George Marks, Councilmember <br /> Jerry Faust, Councilmember <br /> Dennis Cavanaugh, Councihnember <br /> Brian Thuesen, Councilmember <br /> .
