Pawlenty urged the Legislature to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot asking the public to dedicate money for long-term conservation and water cleanup. That money would come from existing tax revenue. To get the water-cleanup effort moving, he recommended a $20 million infusion this session.
He also said lawmakers should require large utilities to cut mercury emissions by 90 percent before a federal deadline and should pass a $200 million outdoors bonding package.
