Pool question being posed to Zumbrota voters during primary election

“We’re asking the citizens of Zumbrota to come together and vote to support our community and create a place where kids can swim and take swimming lessons—where families can come and people can generally recreate,” she said. “We went through 22 proposals and finally landed on the 22nd proposal.”
