📰 News we're reading
• Public had little to say during MS4 Ordinance hearing (hometownsource.com) — Houston County’s new MS4 stormwater ordinance, driven by La Crescent’s urbanized area status, could affect how runoff, pet waste, and chemical dumping are handled along nearby county roads. A La Crescent resident raised concerns about water draining onto his property, while officials explained inspections, fixes already made, and how future developments must better manage runoff. Upcoming June 16 hearings will also address alcohol and peddler license changes involving La Crescent groups.
