Water named the official beverage of Indiana

Senator Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) led the successful passage of a Senate resolution declaring water as "the official beverage of Indiana."

"I would like to see water get more respect - as a healthy beverage choice and as a vital natural resource," Kruse said. "It is important not only to each individual's health, but to the health of Indiana as a whole. If we don't have our health, many of the other issues that come before the Indiana General Assembly won't matter much."

Thanks to Senator Kruse for recognizing the importance of safe and adequate water for the citizens of Indiana! For more information, visit www.munciefreepress.com/news/story/2007/3/20/204412/034.
