You have a tool. That tool did not work 10 years ago; in the case mentioned, even with the amicus brief support of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the courts were not ready to take on one of the state's biggest homegrown businesses, Target... and so the application for hearing at the MN Supreme Court level was ineffectual. But "a lot of water has passed under the dam" ( appropriate, but a pun nevertheless) and everyone is more involved in the success of environmental issues. Read the law... Minnesota Environmental Rights Act. Stephanie, and all Bridgewater supervisors and residents: Please read my comment, #2.1 on the Earth day thread……..

I am still appalled that Northfield would be promoting an industrial park between our creeks when they have already annexed 530 acres north of 19 by the hospital. I do hope Northfield residents will turn up for the open house Thursday (6-8:30 pm) at Community Bank. I wonder if Jay Jasnoch will carry through on his idea of selling T-Shirts for and against annexation at the door. That 10.5 inch brookie is a beautiful fish!
