Governor Mark Dayton wants Minnesota to set a goal of improving water quality in its lakes and rivers 25 percent by 2025 — at a time when relaxing regulations is the order of the day under the new Trump administration.  Dayton counters

 

He points to the state passing a clean energy mandate a decade ago.  He adds Minnesotans passing the Legacy Amendment in 2008 to increase the sales tax proves they care about clean water.
