The group cited Gerzofsky’s support of bills to open the St. Croix River to alewives, “improve the process for wind power development,” label genetically modified foods, study the impact of climate change, expand the Kids Safe Product Act, strengthen water protections for open-pit mining, and establish a program for paint recycling.
