SUMMARY:Exploring the Idea of a Mississippi River Compact (LWV Upper Mississippi River Region)
DESCRIPTION:The idea or a Mississippi River Compact has been rumbling up and down the river for years without getting a real toe-hold. A Mississippi River Compact would be a legal agreement between all ten mainstem Mississippi River states and the Federal Government. If enacted\, a Compact could provide a forum for management over the entire watershed comprehensively using the sovereign powers of both state and federal governments. Is it time now for a Mississippi River Compact?\nIn this webinar\, we will hear from John Stack\, JD\, author of an Note in the Minnesota Law Review examining the feasibility of a Mississippi River Compact; Mayor David Kleis of St. Cloud and Minnesota Senator John Hoffman. We will learn about the legal basis for a potential compact and the recent call by a group of Mayors along the River for a compact. Finally\, we will look at the political situation and what it would take\, at least in one state\, to establish such a Compact.\nThis is a webinar; advance registration is required.

SUMMARY:Should We Abolish the Electoral College? (LWV Jo Daviess County)
DESCRIPTION:SHOULD WE ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE?\nLeague of Women Voters Event Discusses Why It’s Time\nDoes the electoral college system have you scratching your head about how it works and why we use it to elect our President and Vice President?

It will also outline the impact the electoral college has had on voter turnout\, how it polarizes the nation\, and other consequences.

Her co-presenter will be Barbara Laimins\, a former civics and psychology teacher and current member of the League of Women Voters of Wheaton.\nSince 1970\, the League of Women Voters has supported the abolition of the electoral college in favor of a direct national vote for President and Vice-President.

SUMMARY:The Nature Conservancy's Mississippi River Basic Project (LWV Upper Mississippi River Region)
DESCRIPTION:The Nature Conservancy’s Mississippi River Basin Project: An Overview and Implications for Conservation in the Upper Mississippi River Basin\nJoin the League of Women Voters of the Upper Mississippi River Region for a talk by Steve Herrington\, Associate Director of Water for the Minnesota-North Dakota-South Dakota Chapter of The Nature Conservancy\, and Amy Cazier\, The Nature Conservancy Water Quality Technician. They will tell us about The Nature Conservancy’s Mississippi River Basin Project\, outlining their work and ways that others can help to support it.\nRegister to attend the webinar https://lwvmn-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_2oEJUHi3RX2GcJeyQhp03g#/registration\nEncompassing 1\,245 million square miles in 31 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces\, the Mississippi River and its tributaries nourish crops\, transport goods\, provide recreational opportunities and sustain robust fisheries. The river system brings food\, fresh water\, jobs\, and economic security to millions of Americans. Today\, the Mississippi River faces unprecedented challenges. Increasingly intense flooding\, nutrient runoff that creates a Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico\, invasive species\, and changing flows strain the river’s infrastructure and threaten homes\, communities\, and livelihoods.\nThe Nature Conservancy has set ambitious goals to transform how they conduct and influence conservation across the whole basin to ensure its long-term resilience for nature and people alike. They are developing projects\, partnerships\, and policies that protect essential lands\, habitats\, and waters\, while deepening our understanding of the connections between people and place. This presentation will provide an overview of TNC’s Mississippi River Basin project and touch on select actions in Minnesota and elsewhere in the Upper Mississippi River that contribute to a vibrant future for the Mississippi River Basin as a whole.\nSteve Herrington is the Associate Director of Water for the Minnesota-North Dakota-South Dakota Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. An aquatic ecologist with over 30 years’ experience in fish and stream ecology\, Steve joined The Nature Conservancy’s Florida program in 2004 and helped develop its first freshwater conservation program. In 2012\, Steve joined the Missouri Chapter and developed its first freshwater program as well as directed its science initiatives until joining the Tri-State Chapter in 2022. Steve has led and collaborated on a variety of freshwater initiatives across the U.S.\, including conservation planning\, river restoration\, dam removal and fish passage\, environmental flow development\, outreach and education\, and implementing nature-based solutions with measurable benefits and climate change resiliency.\nAmy Cazier earned her bachelor’s in biology at Kalamazoo College where she studied plant-pollinator interactions prior to a habitat enhancement project. Then she jumped into the “water world” when she served as an AmeriCorps Member in the Maine Conservation Corps. She spent a year assessing the quality of streams and wetlands using plant and macroinvertebrate populations as bioindicators\, then served a second year with a land trust working with private landowners to reduce their nutrient loading through shoreline erosion control and habitat enhancement projects. Amy moved to Minnesota and joined The Nature Conservancy’s MN-ND-SD chapter in June of 2023 and works as TNC’s Freshwater Restoration Technician. Her focus is building the partnership with the US Fish & Wildlife private lands Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program and increasing the joint capacity to restore wetlands in the Mississippi headwaters. Amy says that her favorite part of her job is getting to work with dedicated landowners who work to do their part in protecting our planet through habitat\, water quality and water storage.
