This coalition has ' <br />been dedicated to getting some meaningful legislation passed concerning the clean-up of landfills in <br />Minnesota. <br /> <br />The Business Landfill Coatidon is requesting a $500.00 donation from your city to be applied <br />toward the coalition. Other public entities that have contributed or plan to contribute include: the <br />City of Blaine, City of Ham Lake, City of Mounds View and the City of New Brighton. The <br />coalition was established to fund lobbying efforts for alternatives to the Supeffund Cleanup. All <br />money raised will go and is going toward paying our lobbyist, North State Advisors. To date, we <br />have raised close to $14,000.00 of the $20,000.00 needed to fill our commitment to North State <br />Advisors. <br /> <br />This effort was established in response to the Oak Grove cleanup...Many business establishments in <br />the Anoka area have been impacted, as was the City of Anoka, by the situation Oak Grove. To date, <br />over 140 businesses and public entities have sent in money in response to this issue.
