Protect & Defend Minnesota’s Great Outdoors Legacy
Monday, December 21, 2009
Minnesotans value our lakes, rivers, streams and Great Outdoors. We care about keeping our air and water clean for our health and our safety. We share a long outdoors tradition that we want to pass on to our children and grandchildren. And even in these tough economic times, Minnesota voters hold tight to their desire to protect and defend our Great Outdoors legacy.
In 2010, we can take simple, commonsense steps to keep our air and water clean and protect our Great Outdoors legacy.
• Complete Streets: Making Roads Safer for All Minnesotans, ensuring that streets and roads are designed to support more walking, bicycling and clean transportation choices to protect Minnesota’s lakes, rivers, and air quality;
• Safe Mines: Protecting Our Water from Toxic Mining Pollution, requiring a damage deposit from new toxic-producing mining operations to protect Minnesota taxpayers from potential pollution clean-up costs;
• Defending Minnesota’s Environmental Policy Foundation, including upholding Minnesota’s restrictions on new nuclear and coal-burning power plants to keep our state on course for a clean energy future;
• Safeguarding Minnesota’s Great Outdoors Legacy, assuring traditional long-term investments for our lakes, forests and natural areas, and protecting against raids of constitutionally-protected funds.
