    Hennepin County Environmental Services Department Environmental Response Fund Political Advocacy Strategy
    (Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs, 2011-12-13) Brosnan, John; Hamma, Peter; Kafut, Amy
    The following report was prepared to develop a lobbying and advocacy strategy to support the continuation of the Hennepin County Environmental Response Fund. This report will give background information on brownfield redevelopment and the history and purpose of the Environmental Response Fund in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The fund currently is in danger of losing its funding mechanism. We will argue why this is a problem and who why the program must be extended past its January 1, 2013 sunset date. We lay out an advocacy strategy for the removal or extension of the sunset date from current law. This report was prepared for Hennepin County Environmental Services by John Brosnan, Peter Hamma, and Amy Kafut, students at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
