2011 House Bill 4901: Create “environmental justice” regulatory regime
  1. Introduced by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D) on September 7, 2011, to establish a process whereby a relative handful of individuals could force the state to create and impose an “action plan” for addressing claims that various human activities affecting the environment have a "disparate impact" on an identified minority or low-income population. This plan potentially could include imposing more rigid environmental regulations and standards in a particular community than apply in the rest of the state. The bill would create a number of new state government “environmental justice” boards and positions.
    • Referred to the House Government Operations Committee on September 7, 2011.

 This "Representative" must have gone to the Obama socialist/marxist school recently! Newsflash, socialism and social justice don't work, redistributing wealth through the environment will only continue to destroy this economy - of course that's not the Reps concern is it??

Hire more environmentalists to determine who was injured more by environmental violations?  Should this be called "The Full Employment for Government Bureaucrats Bill" or is it just a setup for a Pigford-type reparations slush fund so that "minorities" can get more dollars from the cash-rich Michigan government?


What kind of mind comes up with these absurd schemes??
