in AIS research. Neither staff nor representatives from the LMCD were present on September 12, 2018 <br />at the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center's showcase of AIS research underway in <br />Minnesota. <br />The LMCD's disregard for state law is inexcusable and their use of hyperbole, lack of sound scientific <br />facts, and misleading claims about the harvesting program and AIS research minimizes the work of our <br />lake communities, natural resource agencies, and residents who have invested millions of private and <br />public funds to protect Lake Minnetonka. I no longer feel the LMCD is a credible or trustworthy <br />organization. The LMCD's weed harvesting program has become unmanageable, and creates more <br />problems than it solves, is a financial liability to LMCD tax payers. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gabriel Jabbour, Tonka Bay Marina <br />CC.
