The bill was <br />staned in October, 1991 based on a resolution <br />by the Minnesota Lake Management Federation <br />(MLMF) that set up a steering committee of <br />diverse state interest groups to explore the issues <br />of containment of exotics in the state and the <br />best way to accomplish it. <br />Under the direction of Co-Chairs Stan <br />Borman. Cedar Lake, and Brad Walker, Leech <br />Lake, the group included the Freshwater <br />Foundation, DNR, Sea Grant, Ten Lake <br />Associations, LMCD, Minnesota Shoreland <br />Owners (MSO), Focus 10,000, LMLOA, <br />Hennepin Parks and the Minnesota Sportsfishing <br />Congress. <br />After putting together a strong outline, <br />MLMF and MSO wrote the bill in conjunction <br />so theirs woula be one strong voice. MSO <br />Lobbyist Doug Hwald obtained he support of a <br />distinguished group from the House of <br />Represe'^tatives: Skoglund, Munger, Battaglia, <br />Kinkel and Swenson and from the 5'nate: <br />Luther, Morse and Minnetonka area Senators <br />Gen Olsen and Judy Traub. <br />A strong coalition was formed to make the <br />bill fair to all major interest groups in the state. <br />This group consisted of the DNR, Fishing <br />Groups and lake associations represented by <br />MLMF and MSO. After many meetings a fair <br />and manageable bill was drafted. <br />Exotics continued on Page 5
