With all due respect to the many committed professionals in Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality, what does this quote mean?
"When you put it in writing and put it out in front of the regulatory environment, they are not going to like it," said Brenda Sayles, a DEQ Water Bureau supervisor. "It is going to be very controversial and very political."
Who are "they," and why do "they" oppose keeping Traverse Bay clean, and most importantly, why does "their" opinion matter to an agency charged with protecting the waters of the state for all time?
