Correction:
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District does not have a small budget. If
one researches budgets, etc. you will find that the Watershed Districts
in comparison have more money than other agencies. But their geographic
areas are also larger than many.
I guess that all depends on how one defines small. Minnehaha's entire budget
was around $4 million in 2003, compared to the Park Board's $50 million
operating budget. It would be nice to have more recent figures, but I was
unable to find them.
To my way of thinking, an operating budget of around $3 to 4 million (and a
geographic service area of 181 square miles), is small compared to the Park
Board, City of Minneapolis, or DNR budgets.
But sure, $4 million is large compared to my personal household budget, so no,
I won't personally be cleaning up the spill. :-)
