Members
“If
Majority Leader Johnson and House Speaker Sviggum reach
an airtight agreement, … I will call a special session
of the Legislature that will last less then a day for
this single issue”. Gov. Tim Pawlenty
“Maybe
we just didn’t have enough time in a short session to
concoct this in a good way…We’re open to
negotiations”. Senate Majority Leader Dean Johnson,
DFL-Willmar
“It
will take some cooperation from the DFL Senate. If
someone has the attitude its my way or the highway, that
doesn’t bode well for cooperation”. House Speaker

"Waterfowl
and Wetlands: Minnesota's Disappearing Legacy"
The St. Paul Pioneer Press has
created an on-line archive of its recent coverage of
Minnesota's waterfowl and wetlands issues and the Ducks,
Wetlands and Clean Water Rally.
Written by Outdoors Editor
Chris Niskanen and dating back to January 2005, the 25 stories
track Minnesota's loss of wetlands and shallow lakes; the
impacts of aquaculture and pattern tiling on wetlands; the
decline in duck hunting success in Minnesota; and coverage of
last year's rally. Also included are Niskanen's columns on
lawmakers' promises and attempts to pass environmental
legislation.
The
series, called "Waterfowl and Wetlands: Minnesota's
Disappearing Legacy" is available at: www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/outdoors/
Governor Tim Pawlenty's
Recent Message
On
Orange Hat Day, March 12th - at the Capitol Governor Tim Pawlenty told
anglers, hunters, conservationists and concerned citizens that
we must continue to: "demand that the legislature uphold their promise to let the voters decide this fall on a Constitutional Amendment dedicating a portion of the Sales Tax for Conservation and the Outdoors”.
