Wrap: Attorney General Chris Koster laid out twelve recommendations Tuesday for cleaning up the Lake of the Ozarks.
Five of those twelve centered on amending Missouri's laws regarding water cleanliness.
Koster says he's confident he'll get legislative support because there was such a large outcry in the Senate two years ago.

Description: "Either that was a sincere effort to accomplish a goal or it was political. I believe it was a sincere effort to accomplish a goal, and if it was, then these recommendations I hope will be considered by the general assembly in addressing that vision we share." |
Koster says he has spoken with some lawmakers, but none have formally pledged to carry his ideas into chamber.

Description: "I certainly recognize that in the budget times that we are dealing with, just casting out a bunch of good ideas is not acceptable, you gotta put money, dollar figures behind it so that you're not coming off as idealistic without the financial resources to back it up." |
Koster released a report Tuesday following his August symposium on Lake of the Ozarks cleanup.
He says he expects to have support from legislators this session.
