Pioneer Press op-ed: Making our investment in clean water pay off

An op-ed submitted by Minnesota Senator John Hoffman, co-author of the recently passed Clean Water Accountability Act, highlights how the bill will help protect and restore our states freshwater resources.

The Clean Water Accountability Act establishes a solid framework to ensure taxpayer dollars spent from the Legacy fund result in real progress and cleaner water. This is a major victory for our communities, economies and way of life.

For more information on the Clean Water Accountability Act, please contact FMRs Watershed Program Director Trevor Russell at (651) 222-2193 or trussell@fmr.org.
