Tell your senator: Support funding for healthier waters in the Legacy bill

We're rapidly approaching the end of this year's legislative session, and this final stretch is a critical time. This is when bills need a final push of support if they're going to get across the finish line.
Right now, funding that would benefit drinking water, wildlife and public health is at risk of falling short.
The Omnibus Legacy Finance Bill invests nearly $777 million in Minnesota's outdoor heritage, clean water, parks and trails, and arts and culture. Of this, more than $300 million would go specifically toward restoring Minnesota's rivers, lakes, streams and groundwater.
The bill already passed through the House with strong bipartisan support (115-19), but has run into opposition in the Senate.
This is where your support can make a difference.
Please take a moment to urge your senator to pass the Omnibus Legacy Finance Bill (HF 2563) before the clock runs out this session. Clean, healthy water depends on this funding.
