Senate Bill 910, banning wood stove emissions regulations
The EPA's wood burning stove ban will be an unnecessary burden on citizens and manufacturers trying to meet emissions mandates.  A Bill submitted by Senator Tom Casperson, R-Escanaba, would prohibit the MDEQ from imposing state regulations limiting emissions from woodstoves and heaters.

Michigan State Tax Payer Bail Out of DETROIT
House representative Joel Johnson attended our meeting to give an update on the discussions taking place in Lansing on our options and obligations as a State to the Detroit municipal Pensioners. 

Rep. Joel Johnson  97th House

The options aren't good in any case, and the consensus from the room was NO to the bailout.
The concern is that the bail out sets a precedence for other municipalities in line to fail.


 Here are some of the issues to consider:

Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr

There is a Constitutional question as to whether this State is obligated to protect the pensions of all political subdivisions.  (all sub governments, townships, Cities, Counties)

We certainly insist the legislative intent of this section of our Constitution be requested for review. 


The deliberate and belligerent mismanagement of Detroit's finances should not fall on the entire tax paying body of Michigan.
