Educational Session 
Does it take an act of Congress to protect the Mississippi?
The answer is that Congress is one piece – an important one – of the solution to the Mississippi’s woes.  In the UMRR Annual Meeting, our panel of speakers talked about bills currently in the US Congress that have the potential to greatly affect our river, and we  explored the idea of a “compact” between the river states to protect the river from water diversions.  This session  set the stage for the work that LWV UMRR will tackle in the years to come.
