Update on Clean Lakes Bill

The Clean Lakes bill to ban phosphorus in fertilizer passed the Senate yesterday, and awaits the governor's signature to become law!

We know there are plenty more threats to our lakes and streams, but for today, it's great to know that by working together and stopping some of the worst pollution, our children and grandchildren will have a better chance of swimming and fishing in the kind of beautiful lakes we can remember.
