Both the complexity of Minnesota's water problems and the strong public interest in solving them were in evidence at a community water meeting hosted by Gov. Mark Dayton in Mankato Wednesday night.
The event was the second of 10 "Water Town Hall" meetings Dayton and key commissioners are holding in all corners of the state this summer to build support and consensus for the governor's plan to reduce water pollution by 25 percent by 2025.
