About Us
Complimentary, not competition.
My name is Bjorn Skogquist, and I am a long time Anoka resident and former Mayor of Anoka. The Anoka County Connection is my attempt to tell the community about news and events happening in Anoka County.
I'm passionate about "the little guy" and telling stories in their proper context. News today is often about presenting both sides of a story, but often in doing that, news sources dilute a story or misdirect it. I won't pretend this is anything more than a fancy blog with aspirations of being something more, but I hope it serves as more than a social media page.
I do not see this as competition with other news sources, simply a compliment.
Join us in reading and in sharing local news stories. Also, please send your tips about Anoka County or North Metro stories.
