On the recordJanuary 23, 2003
But I know for a fact that part of that is because of the severe flooding which we shared in 1997 in East Grand Forks and Grand Forks and Fargo and Moorhead. But also, as I indicated, in the last 2 years Minnesota farmers have been devastated in the northwestern part of the State and the cities there have been flooded after the river diverts from the North Dakota- Minnesota border. We have circumstances that are different; therefore, the interests of our States differ. That is exactly the reason why Minnesota and North Dakota and Canada should be working cooperatively on this and not have one State go off on its own trying to finagle something which I think undermines the trust and working relationship.
