Sen. Paul J. Utke

A "No" vote means rejecting the recommendations of the Clean Water Council and Outdoor Heritage Council to fund projects protecting Minnesota’s land, water, and environment, and withholds $777 million in investment across the state previously approved by Minnesota voters through the Legacy Act.

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.

A “No” vote means important policies are not adopted to clean up Minnesota’s waste stream, and investments in clean water drinking projects and tree planting for communities across the state are denied.

A “No” vote means withholding funds from projects across the state that would ensure clean water, protections for the environment, safer and more accessible parks and trails, and much more.
