Environment fund to be restored!

Great news! We’re thankful legislative leaders and Gov. Tim Walz agreed to a funding fix that gets shovels in the ground as soon as possible for worthy projects while preserving the citizen-driven Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund voters created 30 years ago. We're also thankful to all the FMR River Guardians who weighed in on this important issue!

Minnesotans should be proud that their leaders found common ground and worked together to invest in clean water infrastructure and environmental cleanup this early in this legislative session.  We'll post more about this later, but for now, please learn more in this great piece from the Star Tribune.

See our legislative blog for updates.
