A group of coastal property owners has again
prompted introduction of legislation to remove public notice and oversight of
wetland destruction along the Great Lakes shoreline. House Bill 4257 is first in
line. A Senate bill will soon be introduced.
******************
According to SOS board member Joe McBride of
Caseville, the group is making progress in its efforts to ease beachfront
maintenance regulations by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and
the Army Corps of Engineers. Two bills in the state legislature are being worked
on and are receiving support from legislators statewide.
