Friends of the Mississippi River is a proud co-sponsor of the Vote Yes campaign in support of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment.
On 4 November 2008, Minnesota voters will have the opportunity to vote Yes for the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, which will dedicate small sales tax increase to the protection and restoration of our waters, wildlife habitat, parks, and trails.
This November, vote Yes to protect the Minnesota you love!
The full ballot language will read:
Clean Water, Wildlife, Cultural Heritage, and Natural Areas
Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to dedicate funding to protect our drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore our wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve our arts and cultural heritage; to support our parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore our lakes, rivers, steams, and groundwater by increasing the sales and use tax rate beginning July 1, 2009, by three-eighths of one percent on taxable sales until the year 2034?
