An Open Letter

To: Rep. Agbaje, Gov. Walz, Sen. Champion

From: A verified voter in Minneapolis, MN

October 28

It's illegal to destroy wild rice in Minnesota. Unless you have a permit. Hundreds of lakeshore owners apply to remove the state grain, a stressed and sacred resource. Their requests are rarely denied. State lawmakers should take this issue up before they go on break. Star Tribune wrote about it today. I read the other day that our native wild rice (manoomin) has declined across much of its historic range. All human impact. Please take this seriously. Thank you.
