Detroit, MI (December 1, 2011) Following Governor Rick Snyder’s veto of House Bill 4326, a bill passed by the Legislature that prevents state agencies from having stricter rules than the federal government, the BlueGreen Alliance released the following statement from former Congressman and BlueGreen Alliance Jobs21! campaign Co-Chair Mark Schauer:

“Today is a proud day for Michiganders, who understand protecting the Great Lakes is vitally important to our economic and environmental future. Governor Snyder has made the right call, and we hope he will continue to support strong protections for our air, land and water.”
