I live in Roseville and yet am a faithful reader of the great community newspaper, the Timberjay. I am writing out of concern for the passage of the MN Great Outdoors Amendment which will be on the front of every voter’s ballot.
Over 30 years ago, a majority of Minnesotans voted to dedicate a portion of state lottery proceeds to conservation. Since then, it’s provided over $1 billion for projects to enhance Minnesota’s parks, green spaces, arts and culture. The North Country has been the recipient of these funds in many projects.
In this election year over 50 percent of Minnesotans must VOTE YES to continue funding these conservation and arts projects.
PLEASE VOTE YES!
If you don’t mark your ballot, it will be counted as a NO VOTE!
Let’s keep this lottery funding working for conservation and arts projects throughout Minnesota.
