Michigan Senate pushes bills to curb DEQ power and create private panels
A trio of bills in Michigan would curb the Department of Environmental Quality by creating a private veto panel over rulemaking and two other panels for permit appeals and scientific advisory input. Backed largely along party lines by Sen. Tom Casperson, the measures would tilt influence toward industry groups, drawing criticism from environmental advocates who warn of conflicts of interest and weakened public health protections amid water contamination concerns.
