Comments on: State o' the State http://looncommons.org/2007/01/18/sossy/ A forum for current and emerging environmental and conservation issues in Minnesota.

With the Governor's budget due out next week and the need for a major increase in funding for restoration of our lakes and rivers, I would have hoped it would warrent a quick mention. The fact that it didn't, along with some speculation and rumors by lobbyists, makes me worried that Legacy numbers are going to be far too low in the budget proposal released next week.
