I actually did this on several web sites. I think she is getting our message. I'm not sure if she will pass or veto the bill, but I'm convinced she knows the previously silent majority is speaking out through the Tittabawassee River Voice and our friends at Midland sherlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465173457721818992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6755903.post-1134402008583210232005-12-12T07:35:00.000-08:002005-12-12T07:40:08.596-08:00If you are a Michigan resident please contact Governor Granholm todayand tell her to sign HB-4617S-4.

The way I read it, EPA says we should use science to decide whether certain chemicals cause cancer, but then they seem to feel that policy should supercede science. Does that sound right?

MDEQ declared this small Michigan community in Stanton Township 'guilty' of having a dangerous dam.
