Clean up runoff

A new report shows elevated levels of nitrates in Minnesota's drinking water, which is a serious health threat, particularly to babies. This report should be an obvious incentive to legislate the needed cleanup without further delay. This is poison to babies of Republicans and Democrats alike. Please, assume the responsibility of a needed change on a high priority.

Why is this important?

My children are grown, but they are having their own babies now. This is a vital, and unavoidable priority we owe our children, grandchildren, and generations to follow.

I am not an elected legislator or governor, but if I were, I would assume the responsibility of expediting this very issue. Because I am only a constituent, and not one of the elected, I can take this step of encouragement to do the right thing.
