I hope you’ll join me this Saturday at the Minnetonka Community Center for a town hall. Representative Ginny Klevorn, Senator Paul Anderson, and I will be discussing the progress that we’ve made at the Capitol and answer questions from community members.
I recently attended my first meeting of the Clean Water Council. This coalition makes recommendations regarding the Clean Water Fund to the legislature and the governor. This fund restores and enhances water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams and protects our groundwater and drinking water sources. I’m honored to serve on the Clean Water Council and excited to work on these important issues. Read more about the Clean Water Council here.
Last Monday was STEM Advocacy Day at the Capitol. Robotics teams from all over the metro area were in attendance, including the Hopkins Technocrats! It was great to see their energy and enthusiasm.
In the District
I visited Omegon Youth Residential Treatment Center in Minnetonka over the weekend. The center is run by Volunteers of America and offers specialized treatment for those experiencing serious emotional, social, and/or behavioral disorders combined with use of mood-altering chemicals. I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the organization and talk with staff. We’re fortunate to have this facility in our community.
Please continue to share your concerns and feedback.
Sincerely,
Patty Acomb
State Representative
