BROWNFIELD AG NEWS FOR AMERICA: Michigan Attorney General Says WOTUS Is Wrong
Michigan’s Attorney General says he’s going to continue to fight the Waters of the U.S. Rule after it was reinstated in 26 states including Michigan.
“We’ll continue to fight this because it’s wrong headed, it takes the absolutely wrong approach.”
Bill Schutte tells Brownfield he and a group of state Attorneys General filed suit against WOTUS in 2015 because it negatively impacts farmers. “All it does is make incomes tougher, it hurts our exports, it impacts farming as a whole, we’ll prevail on this.”
Last month a district court judge reinstated the rule in 26 states, including Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, because administrative procedures were not followed.
