Senate Republicans are threatening to block funding for things like Minnesota State Parks, the Minnesota DNR, the Minnesota Zoo and the Science Museum of Minnesota if the state s Clean Car emissions standard isn t removed.
That would mean the environmental arm of the state government would effectively shut down come July 1.
State Parks would be closed, fishing licenses wouldn t be available, there wouldn t be funding for the Minnesota Zoo, the Science Museum and several crucial state agencies that provide outdoor recreation for Minnesotans, regulate clean air and water, among other things, would be closed.
