Midland-based property rights group chooses Hoogendyk as its
first executive director
Publication of wetlands inventory maps by the
state Department of Environmental Quality in 2007 got people talking "about
where our state regulatory environment was heading" and led to CIVPRO's
formation, Walker said.
The prepared statement Hoogendyk issued Monday describes CIVPRO as an organization of interested or concerned individuals, businesses, industries and the public at large. The CIVPRO brochure says the organization's purposes are promotion of Michigan economic growth and reasonable regulatory processes which protect the environment but eliminate government abuse; influencing and supporting legislation which protects property owners and encourages business expansion; and being a voice for property owners, large and small, when their property is diminished or deemed unusable as a result of a regulatory taking. |
