If the Governor and Legislature will just give 2 cents of each dollar they spend out of Michigan's general fund to environmental protection, the state will have the ability to deter polluters and conserve our resources. But the funding is going in the other direction. Lansing, please put a better environmental budget on your list of New Year's resolutions.
"Compromising the state's resources compromises the safety of the public, which government is sworn to protect. Further diminishing DEQ would likely speed the plundering of Michigan's resources and lessen the quality of life for many."
