State agencies charged with protecting Minnesota’s health and natural resources are failing to do so. The number one priority of the MPCA, the MDNR and MDH should be to protect natural resources and safeguard public health, and the MDA must take responsibility to prevent harm to health, water, and lands from agricultural practices. Governor Walz can use his leadership to insist that Minnesota state agencies take seriously and implement their directives and restore public trust in their ability to protect people and the environment.
