THIRD MEETING ON STAR LAKE PROPOSAL

Bemidji lawmakers will hold another public hearing on District 4 State Senator Mary Olson's Star Lake Proposal this week. Olson said she continues to be overwhelmed by the interest and support the plan has generated. Olson said lake shore owners are committed to the health of their lake. The proposal would tap into existing water management expertise and experience and promote the hard work already done by Minnesota lake associations. The meeting on Friday at 6:30pm will be in the Lumberjack Room at Bemidji High School. Lakes associations with the Star Lake designation would get faster assistance from state agencies to help them keep their lake clean.
