Rep. Bjorn Olson

A “No” vote means rejecting $700 million in investment in clean water and infrastructure across Minnesota, including funding for important programs to help cities and towns build and maintain drinking water and wastewater systems.

A “Yes” vote means approving the biennial budget for the Department of Commerce and the Public Utilities Commission, keeping these agencies funded and operating. This budget supports several important clean energy programs and increases support for low-income families across the state.

A “Yes” vote means approving the recommendations of the Clean Water Council and Outdoor Heritage Council to invest in projects protecting Minnesota’s lands and waters, as well as appropriating funds to support Minnesota’s environment and the arts.

A “No” vote means no updates to our current permitting rules for energy projects which would slow our clean energy transition, and not funding for contaminated water remediation projects.
