On May 3, 2012 at about 5:00 PM Governor Mark Dayton signed HF 2164, into law, advancing protection of Minnesota's lakes and rivers from aquatic invasive species (AIS) like zebra mussels and Asian carp.
Legislators across the political aisle speak up for the critical work MSRPO does for Minnesota's lakes and rivers.
The Legislature recessed for Easter/Passover break on April 5th and will reconvene Monday April 16th. We expect that they will move quickly to wrap up. Legislative leadership hopes to finish all their work by the end of April.
Two of our issues are still in process, Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) and Taxes.
Take Action at the state and local level to stop zebra mussels, Asian carp and other Aquatic Invasive Species
Other property classes, especially lake homes which have seen dramatic increases of late, are now recognizing the truth that the property tax system is deeply flawed and must be dramatically reformed.
We think significant reform is coming in 2013. The redesign of government and reform of Minnesota's state and local fiscal system is central to job creation and prosperity.
MSRPO supports these reform efforts and encourages all members to keep this call for reform front and center for legislators as they move through this session and into the 2013 campaign.

Now is the time to push for a total state and local fiscal system overhaul.
