Clean Water Land & Legacy Amendment
In 2008, Minnesota voters approved an increase in sales tax to create additional revenue in order to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Many conservation projects and programs that Le Sueur County participates with is funded by the Clean Water Land & Legacy Amendment, specifically the Clean Water Funds.
