Councilor Brekke talks the topics of the day including electric cars and transport. It was also interesting that Janet brought up that communities along the Big Sioux River watershed ALL need to be responsible when it comes to cleaning up our waterways. Tell that to the state and Madison who brought TruShrimp in (due to the lack of strict discharge regulations that Minnesota has). She also brings up that the City Council should be setting the policy for the city, (NOT the mayor’s office).
Ag fertilizer runoff is worse than shrimp farming. Anything riparian is environmentally managed federally. The city has no reason to be involved. Concentrate on Charter revision. We want our city back. The mayor sets policy and the council refines, corrects, or eliminates appropriately. It’s complicated enough. Independent councilor policy provokes indecision election to election with no results.
