In the Star Tribune article titled "Dayton vows to fight for water law," J.Patrick Coolican wrote, "Gov. Mark Dayton promised Friday to fight efforts at the Legislature to weaken or delay his signature 2015 water quality initiative, the nation's first law requiring agricultural landowner to install and maintain vegetative buffers near rivers and streams to protect against farm runoff." Coolican also wrote that the water summit is "part of a yearlong effort by Dayton to bring attention to Minnesota's water quality challenge."
We need to tell our Minnesota senators and representatives to support the water quality initiative to protect our water resources from the poison of agricultural runoff.
