From Minneapolis Park Watch:

CROWN HYDRO'S SENATE BILL 1191 LAID OVER

SF1911, Crown Hydro's land grab bill, was heard in the Senate Local Government Committee Wednesday, May 4, 2011.  Testifying for the bill were Senator Gen Olson and Crown Hydro lobbyist Jim Erickson.  Testifying for the Park Board were MPRB President John Erwin, MPRB Superintendent Jayne Miller, League of Minnesota Cities representative Craig Johnson and Minneapolis resident Arlene Fried.  There was no vote; the bill was laid over.  It could die or it possibly could be heard in committee on short notice next week.
