And here is his six-point plan to bring Michigan's environment to its knees.

My favorite is: "Adopt a law that prohibits the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality from promulgating regulations that are more stringent than federal requirements without explicit approval from the governor and the Legislature." In other words, subject all new environmental rules to a legislative veto, and make sure Michigan has the same environmental standards as Mississippi. Now that's a clever idea.
Why doesn't the Mackinac Center do something besides flacking for its polluting contributors? Some real dialogue (or even monologue) on how to spur better environmental performance by business (incentive-based, perhaps?) would be more constructive than this look backward to the good old days of wanton spewing of waste into the environment.
(Thanks to Tom Knight for pointing this out.)
