​Regulatory capture occurs when government serves private interests instead of enforcing existing laws written in the public interest.   Don Arnosti provides evidence that documents regulatory capture
  • in multiple Minnesota agencies
  • on various Minnesota issues 
  • during the administrations of all political parties.
 
Don Arnosti has 30 years of broad expertise in environmental policy and organizing. He currently consults for the Friends of the Minnesota Valley on agricultural drainage issues. Don Arnosti is a long-time, active member in Minnesota Environmental Partnership (in which LWVMN belongs). He served as Executive Director for Audubon Minnesota and the Izaak Walton League, and in various positions for the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy, and Clean Water Action. He has worked with people in all corners of the state to protect water, land and wildlife, while incorporating rural communities' interest in farming, forestry and tourism.
