Lone Tree Council would like to echo the accolades
for Administrator Gade. This is indeed a sad and sorry day for the
Saginaw Bay Watershed and for government all the way around.
Adding insult to injury, Lieutenant Governor
Cherry intervened in the regulatory process and overruled the best
professional judgement of MDEQ charged with protecting the resources of the
State. Another blow to science and good public service.
Taking the heat for the LG, MDEQ today announced there would be no slurry
wall or groundwater permits for the dioxin pit on the Saginaw
River after a series of meetings in which Lieutenant Governor Cherry
intervened. Politics trumps science! This
decision was made by the Lieutenant Governor based on a study paid for by Dow
Chemical and done by Dow contractor, Environ, who are doing work for Dow on
the Saginaw River.
Doing
Dow's bidding knows no political affiliation and apparently no shame.
