Crisis = Danger + Opportunity?

In an earlier post, I had briefly advocated reorganizing Minnesota governance along watershed lines. Given our looming budget crisis, it seemed that it might be timely to expand a bit on this idea so I drafted a 10-page 'white paper' and (perhaps a bit presumptuously) sent it along to Governor Pawlenty and the leadership of relevant committees in both houses. My goal in writing this piece was to broaden our dialogue a bit and to use the 'opportunity' provided by our current financial woes to catalyze a transition to a truly sustainable Green Economy.

Curious? Here is an Adobe pdf copy of my proposal entitled "Creating Opportunity in a Financial Crisis: Simplifying Natural Resource Management in Minnesota." Please download it and pass it along to anyone you think might be interested. [Cross posted to Quintessence].
