If you think more government regulations or bigger government will cure anything you are delusional. Show me one government regulation or entity that doesn't cause more problems, cost, hassel etc. than they cure. You have been brainwashed by the envirosocialists that want us to be more like the third world. The richest most free countries on earth are also the cleanest. Get the government out of the way and good things will happen.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/241711.aspxWed, 25 Jul 2007 10:22:27 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:241711Richard Rasmussen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/241711.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=12&PostID=241711While there are at times clear reasons for the federal government to require states to follow its guidelines, for a state to voluntarily tie its own hands is ridiculous. There can be no motive for a bill like this other than minimization of environmental protection in any circumstances.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/241710.aspxWed, 25 Jul 2007 02:22:36 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:241710Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/241710.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=12&PostID=241710The State of Michigan should be able to enact any environmental protections that are needed in this State regardless of what the Federal Government does or does not do. Federal guidelines for Environmental Protection are the bare minimum that needs to be followed. Just something for the States to build upon. Michigan should strive to be a leader in Environmental protection. Especially now, since tourism is a primary industry here. Our water needs to be protected at all costs.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/241705.aspxTue, 24 Jul 2007 21:34:06 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:241705Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/241705.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=12&PostID=241705??http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/241704.aspxTue, 24 Jul 2007 21:31:40 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:241704Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/241704.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=12&PostID=241704We are doing OK, but we could do better.
