Congressman Ron Kind says it is time the Mississippi River gets the kind of attention other U-S eco-systems receive. The Wisconsin Democrat revealed his Mississippi River Action Plan during a Monday stop in La Crosse. The legislation he has authored includes improvements to the river’s infrastructure and conservation plans. More money would be dedicated to the Upper Mississippi River Restoration program. Officials say the busy river has an estimated economic impact of more than 580-billion dollars-a-year.
