AG Ellison announced that he is forming a new Advisory Task Force on the Future of Minnesota’s Water. He is soliciting applications to serve on the Task Force through the State of Minnesota Open Appointments process. The deadline for applying is April 30, 2025. The Task Force will begin its work in June 2025.

“I’m forming this task force to jumpstart an important conversation about how we steward our precious water resources into the future, especially in the context of pressures like increasing demand and global climate change. I realize that when an attorney general gets involved in an issue, people think it will be about the fine print of rules and statutes — but that’s not the vision for this task force. Instead, I want it to be not about regulation, but imagination; not about pointing fingers or assigning blame, but about our best thinking for expanding what’s possible for us as stewards of Minnesota’s water."- Attorney General Ellison.
