Protecting our Environment
This year the Legislature extended a ban on the use of phosphorous in lawn-care products to the seven-county metro area and limited its use statewide. The city of Minneapolis already had a similar ban in place, but the extension will be a tremendous boon to the health of our lakes, rivers, and ground water throughout the state. We also worked to increase funding for the upkeep of parks and trails throughout Minneapolis.
