It was disappointing to learn that Gov. Walz left out the $7.5 million bonding request for the funding to finish dredging Fountain Lake out of his bonding proposals. With time getting short, we need to make our voices heard in St. Paul. We need to contact the leadership of the capital investment committees, letting them know that finishing the dredging project on Fountain Lake is a major priority in our area for the citizens of Albert Lea, Freeborn County and south-central Minnesota.

Please contact the leadership of the Senate and House capital investment committees, along with Gov. Walz, asking them to include bonding dollars for this very worthwhile project.

Here is their contact information.
