Town Hall on Water Withdrawal and Export: 

Citizens Say:  We Decide Where Our Great Lakes Waters Go!

Parties split over water withdrawal

 

The politically charged question of how best to regulate large-scale water withdrawals in Michigan boils down to a question of trust, according to people on both sides of the debate.

Local environmental activist Kathy Evans asked Van Woerkom what it would take to get him to drop his opposition to giving groundwater the same level of public trust protection that surface waters already enjoy under Michigan law.

After a long pause, Van Woerkom said: "I don't have an answer for that. I'm not a bonehead."
