So Long Katrina

and that brings me back to the question of how Lessard-Sams money can be used for an entirely WI project?

“Brian,

When the LS Council reviewed the proposal for the Lake Pepin project in 2018, the Council raised that exact question. We worked with nonpartisan legal staff and the answer was that there was precedent with the cooperative agreement with the State of Iowa to install a carp barrier within a tributary that flowed from MN to Iowa with the goal of preventing invasive carp migration into MN waters. It has worked well thus far despite invasive carp increasing in numbers in those waters in Iowa.

The Council discussed the Lake Pepin proposal extensively and after much debate decided that it would benefit aquatic life on both sides of the border. So that is why it was funded.

Guess a person can’t argue that (much).

So OUR money is going to the benefit of other states? I guess the water may improve but still.

Good spot to soak willows on a 3 way, bummer.
