MVTV Wireless Internet’s team has been working diligently to maintain and recover.

As area REA’s wrap up electrical power repairs and road hazards start to clear, the MVTV Wireless employees continue to restore and monitor internet service across SW Minnesota.

The relentless wind and thick ice were a powerful force…

As the storm raged on, Tower Crews and Technicians worked hand in hand with our Network Operations Center (NOC) to repair sites during widespread power outages. MVTV field crews were able to keep several access points operational with gas powered generators. MVTV Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) continued to preform troubleshooting steps to successfully get customers back online. THANK YOU for your dedication to our members!

And, THANK YOU to our members for your patience during this very dangerous weather event!

Sincerely,

MVTV Wireless Internet

Today is Minnesota Township Day!

According to MPRNews ~

All of Minnesota’s nearly 1,800 townships will hold their annual meetings Tuesday in a grassroots display of democracy known as Township Day.

It’s a time for residents to voice their concerns about local issues.

“Usually the elected officers provide a budget of what they’d like to see,” said Steve Fenske, an attorney with the Minnesota Association of Townships. “And then the voters sit and talk about whether they want to provide what’s in the proposed budget or whether they want to cut back.”

The meetings often tackle topics like road maintenance, tax levies and planning and zoning. The number of townships assuming that responsibility has grown over the last decade.

“It kind of changes over time, but [that happens] usually when they get frustrated and they want to see something different,” said Fenske. “Ten to 15 years ago, there was a big push [for townships to take over planning and zoning] because there were feedlot issues. Within the last couple of years there’s been issues about solar gardens and where are they placed.”

Townships also lobby at the state Legislature. State money for roads and broadband expansion are key issues this year.

Many of the state’s townships will also hold their elections Tuesday.
