Continuing my work on the Lake of the Woods Pilot Program, I welcomed officials from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to my office to discuss the progress being made to make it easier for tourists and resorts to explore the Boundary Wilderness. Finally, I’d like to wish everyone a happy 4th of July as we celebrate what a privilege it is to be an American. Sincerely,Congressman Collin C.

Peterson (D-MN) made the following statement yesterday in regards to the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal to withdraw the Waters of the U.S. rule. “I strongly support the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal to withdraw the Waters of the U.S. rule. I am hopeful this action will start the process of bringing much needed relief for farmers, ranchers, rural businesses and local governments,” Peterson said. “Administrator Pruitt committed to me earlier this year that they would make this a priority, and I will continue to do what I can in Congress to support common sense solutions.” |
