The Albert Lea City Council is seeking public input on proposed law changes to limit the number of off-sale liquor, tobacco and sexually-oriented businesses. The council is scheduled to take final action at its Nov. 25 meeting. The council is considering limits after capping the number of cannabis retailers at two, and is seeking to be equitable with other adult businesses. Another concern is limiting the exposure of adult items to minors. Contact your city councilor: cityofalbertlea.org/council/ ... See MoreSee Less

Do you know how you keep prices high? You block competition.

Need to let the market decide, not the governemt.

This town has a meth, employment and education problem. People that can contribute something positive move away for better opportunities. May want to focus on fixing those things first. Those "adult" businesses could bring in more tax money. Albert Lea government getting too big for the population they dont have and continue to lose.

Very sad, RIP. My thoughts go out to his family and hope they find the person responsible.

Wasn’t he wanted in Texas?

What about the body recently found in Albert Lea?

UPDATE: Individuals associated with this group have been spoken to. They will get the necessary permits to continue their sales.

* Door to door sales persons are required to have a permit from the City. The City Clerk then provides with a permit that has our City Seal; they're made very clear that they must have original permit with them going door to door and encourage offering to show it to the resident. Application contents containing a copy of photo ID, vehicle info, what's being sold, etc is maintained at City Clerks office and share with law enforcement.

-----
There are sales people selling vacuum cleaners door to door. We've received several calls from residents due to the aggressive demeanor of these sales people. Please call the ALPD at 507-377-5780 if they come to your residence as we would like to have a word with them.

People answer their doors? I just act like I'm not home haha

Please don't open your door for people you don't know/aren't expecting.

Don't let these people, or any other "salespeople" that you have not initiated contact with, into your home.
