St. Cloud Times — Sixty-six percent of respondents on a 2004 social capital survey said people could be trusted. That number dropped to 55 percent in 2010. Has the level of trust among Central Minnesotans continued to decline?

The social capital survey is an update on the 2004 and 2010 surveys conducted by the Central Minnesota Community Foundation.
