Good morning to everyone, and welcome to Washington.
Thank you to the National Ground Water Association for this great award. Thank you Danny for coming from Minnesota.
I am lucky to hail from the Land of not only 10,000 Lakes, but also multiple levels of excellent aquifers!
We Minnesotans take our water very seriously and are proud to be leaders in showing other states how we care for our most precious natural resource.
