We have 90 days to respond prior to the <br />final DNR classification. <br /> <br />To date, we have conducted two of three public meetings on this issue <br />and have also provided all of our municipalities and townships with <br />copies of the public water classification maps submitted by the DNR. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Governor. I want you to know of my extreme irritation with this project. <br />I am appalled, having learned what the project entails, and at the <br />public cost associated with this State-wide effort. The DNR staff that <br />has attended our public meetings have not been able to provide me with <br />satisfactory information; and consequently, I am asking you to investigate <br />two specific areas of the program: <br /> <br />1. What is the total public cost to the taxpayers of the State of <br />Minnesota for the Wetlands Tax Credit, the State Water Bank <br />Program, and the internal budget costs of the Department of <br />Natural Resources in this public waters classification effort? <br /> <br />2. What is the cost/benefit analysis of the entire effort? <br /> <br />Affirmative Action / r~..~1 I"\~~nrt.....it" Employer <br />
