Greetings: I'd like to let you all know about an effort at the state legislature to restrict the sale and use of phosphorus lawn fertilizer. I understand there was some discussion of this issue on the list when the Mpls. City Council took action on it. The group I work with, the Minnesota Water Quality Partnership, is an organization of 50+ municipalities and watershed districts who want a state law to override the patchwork of local ordinances on this issue. Linda Higgins and Margaret Kelliher have taken the lead on this legislation and are doing a great job. We have a ton of support from many groups. We are always looking for more support, though. If any of you or groups you belong to wish to get involved, we can be reached at (952) 896-3224. Thanks. Jim McGreevy
