Clean Air and Water, is a right of all citizens, I disagree with government agencies, that allowing discharging pollution into our air or water.

Recently the Federal Government gave the Power Plants 10 years to reduce their emissions of Sulfur levels into the air. Minnesota gave the same Power Plants within Minnesota only 5 years, and set a the allowable emissions at half of the Federal level of emissions.

In the early days before the Federal Clean Water Act, Minnesota setup their own Clean Water Act, that was stricter than the Federal Act. The Federal Supreme Court ruled that States have the inherent right to exceed Federal Standards of Air and Water legislation. ~Parnelli
