Background
On June 17-19 over 30 legislators representing Manitoba, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota participated in the 19th Annual International Legislator’s Forum (ILF).
Hosted this year in Sioux Falls, SD the Forum provided three very busy days filled with working and social events designed to provide the delegates with opportunities to be informed, share ideas and concerns, develop and expand working relationships and develop agreements, proposed solutions and approaches to common challenges.
This year’s focus was on water quality and the Big Sioux River, the impacts and questions regarding marijuana legalization, and the opioid crisis in the Northern Plains.
