Hold back the river: Dahms & Torkelson to hold riparian buffer policy listening session April 3

Earlier in March, Bluestem noticed that Paul Torkelson mopes that no one from Greater MN tells him anything good about his buffer bill.

However, he's giving the public one more chance to appreciate HF1534.

The West Central Tribune reports in Lawmakers to talk buffer strips:

Legislation that would require 50-foot vegetative buffers along waterways will be the subject of a listening session with Sen. Gary Dahms, R-Redwood Falls and Rep. Paul Torkelson, R-Hanska, being sponsored by the Redwood and Renville County Farm Bureaus.

It will be at 1:30 p.m. April 3 at the Redwood Area Community Center in Redwood Falls. The public is invited.

Bluestem hopes that area residents attend and someone shows up to say positive things about his bill, because no one should be that unhappy.
