LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gubernatorial candidates Dick DeVos and Jennifer Granholm both say business growth and environmental protection can go hand-in-hand.
But that doesn't stop the Democratic governor and her Republican challenger from differing significantly in how they approach environmental regulation in the state.
Granholm, for instance, supports legislation that would expand Michigan's 10-cent-per-bottle deposit on beer and soft drink bottles to other containers such as water and juice bottles. DeVos says that would be a mistake, although he agrees with Granholm that Michigan needs to create incentives to increase recycling.
