It is time to recognize private property rights. The Department of Environmental Quality continuously oversteps the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Either include the State of Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality on deeds and pay their fair share of the property taxes/improvements, or leave the private property owners alone!
My recommendation for cuts for the budget crisis - the Department of Environmental Quality.
