With that, I'm going to turn our great show coming up here over to my co-host. Clarence Jones. Clarence, take it away.

00:00 - 00:00 Clarence Jones

Hey, thanks, Dan. And I want to thank everyone for listening to our show today. Great show. And I want to start off with Dave because this is how we got connected to this whole process. I had seen Dave in a couple of community events and I just happened to see him in a bowling alley one day and we had a chance to sit down and talk about

00:00 - 00:00 Clarence Jones

And it was there that I found out that he was involved with water. And we had this fascinating conversation about water and what's happening here in Minnesota. And so it's been probably close to 10 years that we've been talking about having another conversation about water. And so today we are honored that Dave and his colleagues are here.

00:00 - 00:00 Clarence Jones

I just want to tell you, Dave is the assistant manager of the drinking water protection section at MDH. We also have Anna Sleep. She is the lead in drinking water coordinator for the drinking water protection program at MDH. We have Sandy Berman. He is a current drinking water administrator for the state of Minnesota. We have Alicia Overbow.

00:00 - 00:00 Clarence Jones

She's a supervisor of the communication and strategic initiative unit at MDH. We got some really special people here. And we're going to be talking about something that when I first started talking to Stan about this, I started talking about this issue around liquid gold. Because there's so many articles in the paper that's talking about water. And we're here in the land of 10,000 lakes, right?
