Following passage by the Legislature Monday night of a two-year bill appropriating almost $400 million for clean water, habitat, parks and trails and arts, Conservation Minnesota Executive Director Paul Austin issued a statement.
“It took longer than it needed to, but in the end all Minnesotans who care about our future have something to celebrate. The new funding will help clean up our water, protect habitat, expand recreation opportunities and create jobs.”
“We appreciate the hard work of the many citizens and legislators who worked tirelessly on this first Legacy funding bill. Most of all, we appreciate the 1.6 million voters who supported the Legacy Amendment and wouldn’t have tolerated any further delay in the work of protecting our natural resources and the health of Minnesota families.”
Conservation Minnesota will continue to post commentary, analyses and links on the Amendment legislation and specific funded projects in days to come at http://www.theamendment.org.
