Plan for Lake Vermilion park clings to life as MN economy slows
... The governor has proposed buying 3,000 acres of land, using money from the Environmental Trust Fund so that the general fund isn't further strained. Bakk said he supports the idea, which would use the fund to pay park bonds instead of designating a large chunk in the bonding bill toward purchasing park land. The Environmental Trust Fund comes in part from the state's lottery profits each year. But the state's Legislative-Citizens Commission on Minnesota Resources, which oversees the Environmental Trust Fund, opposes using the fund for the land purchase.
