Democracy & Good Governance
Michigan was once a national leader in environmental stewardship. But over the last few decades we have seen backsliding on critical protections that have left our lakes plagued with algal blooms, our cities and towns inundated with toxic air, and the agencies charged with protecting our natural resources unable to make and enforce key rules. As we work to heal these decisions that have eroded environmental protections and increased injustices in our communities, we must ensure that our rulemaking authority as a state is completely restored.
