The MOU has not taken a stance on this issue, nor will it under my committee.
I did want to forward this information however, as I know some of you have
strong feelings on this topic and may want to express them to your elected
official.  Note the information is provided by Minnesota Audubon, Env.
Issues Commitee.

>On Thursday April 24th, the final vote in the Senate Environment Finance
>Committee on the Responsible Rider Act (SF 850) is expected.  It will be
>very close.  On Tuesday there were two votes on amendments, the first, a
>friendly amendment, went against us 5-6 (Kubly was out of room for vote,
>he indicated he would vote for the bill), but we won the second vote, 6
>-6, defeating a delete-all amendment sponsored by Sen. Bakk.  The first
>vote was compromised by the very late arriving fiscal note from the DNR
>which was not done well and raised many questions.  It was also very
>high.
>
>Please thank Senators Dibble, Fredrickson, Anderson, Cohen, Kubly and
>Rosen for their supporting votes.  Ask the remaining Senators listed
>below to support the bill, especially Dille, Backmann, Pariseau, Sams
>and Murphy.  Senator Bakk is unlikely to support any aspect of this
>bill, but it never hurts to let him know of your support for the bill.
>
>If you are in any of the Committee members district, please contact your
>senator as soon as possible to express your feelings.

>Thank you,
