Govenor Ventura has declared Minnesota officially ready for the year 2000. The state's Y2K Superboard met for a final time this morning and reported it doesn't expect any more problems than a normal New Year's Eve. The final tab for preparing the state for the Y2K bug came to about 30 million dollars. David Fisher is the State Commisoner of Administration and Chairman of the Y2K Superboard. He says Minnesotans can put their fears to rest.
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution: to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Efforts to digitize this initial assortment of thousands of historical audio material was made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. A wide range of Minnesota subject matter is represented within this collection.
