Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012

1. Aside from public safety, there is no greater concern for the people
of Michigan than having a safe, healthy environment.

2. I call for the restoration of every individual's ancient, common law
standing to sue for trespass any individual, business, government or
other group that pollutes his or her property.

3. I oppose creation of new government parks or wilderness and
recreation areas.

4. I support efforts to hold all individuals, businesses and governments
accountable for the pollution they cause. With respect to so-called
orphan sites, where those responsible for contamination of ground or
water either cannot be found or cannot be made accountable for the
damage they caused, I support the use of the Natural Resources Trust
Fund currently earmarked for expansion of State parks to be redirected
to clean up.
