In November, Minnesotans voted overwhelmingly to increase funding for clean water, wildlife habitat, parks and cultural resources by approving a state constitutional amendment. Now the governor and legislature may be tempted to solve short-term budget problems by raiding the funds that protect our states lakes, rivers and future. How can citizens tell if these decisionmakers are keeping faith with the voters?

Conservation Minnesota has created a new website to make it easy to track the actions of state decisionmakers on conservation funding, and to find out about both threats to the funding and success stories.
