That has little to do with the politics of the city administration. It has more to do with the overfertilization of the most useless crop in the world: lawns.

I disagree.

Much of the pollution from Minneapolis/St Paul is from interconnected rain water and sewage systems. During big rains the sewage plants are overwhelmed by rain water in sewage pipes. They end up dumping raw sewage into the Mississippi.

I would also add that the water in the river near the Downtown St Paul Airport has been known to catch on fire, although it has been a while since that has happened.

Republican rainwater does not intrude into sanitary sewers? ;-)

I remember that sort of thing happening up until the mid-80s. When did it last happen there?
