The Record-Eagle has one of the best approaches to conservation and the environment of any paper in the Great Lakes Basin.
By former Gov. Milliken:
Generations of Michigan citizens have shown they are up to the challenge of defeating any odds for conservation. I am hopeful we will do so again. MEPA has been one of our most powerful conservation tools and should be restored.

Water is better than money, it's as simple as that, senators. My water, and the water of my fellow Michigan citizens, which we own collectively, grows ever more shallow. Don't make it worse.

If there's any fight left in the beleaguered governor after
her long and bitter struggle to pass a budget, she should use it to
assure adequate long-term funding. It's inadequate now. The future is bleak if the Legislature and the
governor fail to meet needs and to face up to consequences of warnings
voiced across the state by Director Becky Humphries of the Department
of Natural Resources. http://www.record-eagle.com/opinion/local_story_343094541.html
In the "water is better than money" piece, Delp refers to Senator Birkholz's damaging legislation.
The same Sen. Birkholz who is the darling of some environmental groups. Hmmm!
