Rep. Peggy Scott

A “No” vote means rejecting the recommendations of the LSOHC, denying over $191 million in funding for over 50 projects across Minnesota to protect, preserve, and enhance the environment. It also denies the annual DNR lands bill, which completes transfers of land into and out of public ownership, as well as other policy and funding.

A “Yes” vote approves $1.24 billion in bonds for critical infrastructure investments, including $15 million for lead service line replacement. Other project areas include grants for clean water and drinking water upgrades, DNR asset preservation, and local road projects.

A “Yes” vote means approving the funding recommendations of the LCCMR and sending over $100 million to 109 projects across the state, supporting the environment through work on clean water, fish and wildlife, lands, outdoor recreation, and more. It also approves another $28 million for the newly established Community Grants program, which helps increase access to ENRTF money for smaller groups and projects.

A “Yes” vote means permanently authorizing the use of crossbows during Minnesota’s designated hunting and fishing seasons by removing the current 2026 expiration date, maintaining accessibility to outdoor recreation for hunters and anglers across the state.
