IMG_5854.JPGAchieving Minnesota’s goals isn’t just government’s responsibility. It never has been. This is the state that practically invented public-private partnerships. Renewed and rechanneled, citizen participation in public work can be a transformative advantage for Minnesota’s future. Efforts like the Citizens League’s Minnesota Anniversary Project and the bipartisan Civic Life Legislative Working Group are preparing to show the way.

On May 11, the 148th anniversary of Minnesota’s statehood, the Star Tribune ran an editorial titled: Sesquicentennial can be a year of renewal: A Citizens League project is showing the way.

As typifies the nonpartisan Citizens League, MAP 150 is being built from the grass roots up. This summer and fall, the League will convene focus groups and survey thousands of Minnesotans to identify their shared needs and concerns. That information then will be sifted through the League’s patented process of broad-based, citizen-driven study, to arrive at proposals for meeting those needs and addressing those concerns.
