Governor Dayton Wants to Know Your Water Priorities

Governor Dayton has scheduled a Clean Water Summit for February 27th. This event will likely set the Governor's water agenda in coming months and years. 
Forward this email to all of your members and urge them to take the survey - let Governor Dayton know our lakes need his leadership on aquatic invasive species.
Take the Survey to let Governor Dayton know that the fight to stop Aquatic Invasive Species needs his leadership. AIS is a biological pollutant as serious as nitrogen and phosphorus, but unlike those contaminants, it CANNOT BE CLEANED UP.
As Lake Association members, and lake home and cabin owners, we have know the water problems facing our state. You may never have a better opportunity to bring the issues you care about forward in the public policy arena.
Please take the time to fill in the survey. And if you can make the event, there is a registration link. 

Let Gov. Dayton know Aquatic Invasive Species is a biological pollutant, capable of destroying Minnesota's Lakes and water based tourism economy.
