Legislative Update

Yesterday, the 95th Minnesota Legislature convened. It will be a short session, ending May 18th, just 14 weeks. Minnesota Lakes and Rivers Advocates will be there every day, tracking bills that could impact your property taxes, water quality, angling, livability and heritage.

We know it is impossible for you to spend each day at the legislature, pour though hundreds of bill introductions, meet with legislative staff, agency personnel and topic experts.

No worries because Minnesota Lakes and Rivers, a partner of the SRCLA, has your back. They do this work for all of us.

But there is a role for you - Please, sign up for our Citizens Action Network, CAN. As issues arise, we will use the CAN system to send you an email action alert, so you can email with just one click.

Numbers matter in the legislative process. The more lake advocates write their legislators, the more likely the legislature takes actions to support your lake association's work and the lakes you love.
