State Representative Larry Howes of Walker has been elected vice chair of the commission responsible for deciding how lottery proceeds are spent on environmental projects.
The Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources is made up of 17 members.
Howes says he will advocate on behalf of the tourism-outdoors industry in his region.
Howes says, "People in our area have a full understanding of how important the outdoors and environment is, but sometimes the metro folks need to be reminded just how much it means to us."
Since 1963, over $600 million has been appropriated to more than 1,250 projects recommended by the commission to protect and enhance Minnesota's environment and natural resources.
