Water Money Flowing

Several of Minnesota's waterways will soon get a scrub-down, thanks to some new cash flowing into state coffers.

The money started to come in this month after Minnesota voters last November passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, providing for a state sales tax increase to go to the environment and the arts.

The sales tax increase is expected bring an estimated 234-million dollars a year over the next quarter-century.
