Please read the following letter (below) and contact Senator Hauschild to express this opinion, if you agree with it. Timing is essential, these bills are being discussed now. Feel free to copy any or all of this letter in an email to him, rewording it as you like. If you call please leave a message expressing your opinion if your call does not get through.
Dear Senator Hauschild,
As a fellow Northlander and a member of the DFL Party, I am writing to express my strong concern about a set of bills that you have recently authored or co-authored in the Legislature that would have significant negative impacts on the lands and waters we call home. While I appreciated your support for bills that take us forward on environmental progress I am concerned about your bills this session that would take us backward.
These bills include:
SF 3216, which would tie extended unemployment benefits to laid off steelworkers to rollbacks of rules on sulfate pollution and reactive mine waste. I support helping laid off workers, but that should not be used as an excuse to cut rules that protect Lake Superior and our other vital waters as well as wild rice.
SF 769, which would provide tax giveaways to Big Tech’s mega data centers that will consume massive quantities of Minnesota’s water and energy.
SF 570 Wetland Conservation Act which should be more aptly called the “permission to pollute” bill. It requires separate construction and operations permits for a facility to be issued creating elevated political pressure to issue permits. It also creates an unrealistic and arbitrarily short timeline for permitting decisions, and would sharply reduce the ability of Minnesotans to make their voice heard in the permitting process on projects that may affect them.
SF1298, an attempt to weaken and delay Amara’s Law, which protects us from cancer causing PFAS.
I agree with the need to promote jobs and a thriving economy here in the Northland, but we can’t sustain our communities or our people without protecting the waters that give us life. I urge you to reconsider your support for these bills and work with your constituents to find solutions to our challenges that protect both people and our shared environment.
Sincerely,
Thank you for contacting Senator Hauschild!
These provisions will be part of the Energy and Environment Omnibus bills, which are being discussed this week so this action is urgent! This may be our last chance to influence these important policies!
