Rep. Sandra Feist

A “Yes” vote means approving a $700 million investment in critical infrastructure programs across Minnesota, including funding for critical water quality programs and lifting the spending caps on programs like Water Infrastructure Funding and Point Source Implementation Grants. 

A “No” vote means rejecting regulations for data centers in Minnesota that would help protect ratepayers and water resources, leaving many of our state’s natural resources at greater risk from potentially rapid data center development, and threatening the state’s 100% carbon-free energy goal. 

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 budget for the DNR, BWSR, and MPCA, funding programs to protect our water, land, and environment across the state, and enacting policy to help more people enjoy outdoor recreation. It also approves investments from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, supporting the recommendations of the LCCMR and providing money to the DNR for the new Community Grants Program.
