Representative Tom Workman (Chanhassen) has introduced legislation to
repeal the law that protects the spring at camp coldwater. So if you
care about this jewel of Mpls. give your rep a call.
The law in question had broad support in both houses and was signed by
the governor.

Many people believe Fort Snelling floated down from the heavens and came
to rest on the confluence of the rivers, Minnesota and Mississippi. This
is not true, the soldiers stayed at camp coldwater while the fort was
being built. The water that is now in peril is the same water that
sustained the soldiers and settlers of the area. Dred Scott was at camp
coldwater for awhile.
This is an important piece of our history, we should give a damn.
I know we're all civic minded people and as such we're busy with al
sorts of pet projects, not to mention the business of our lives, but I
would ask you to think about this. That if this is done incorrectly for
all sorts of lame reasons we're sending the wrong message. That a few
can destroy our city's resourses because of sheer laziness is
disheartening to the young people of this place we supposedly call
'home'.

If you want peace on Earth, you must first make peace with the Earth,
