He says his proposed "regula tory responsibility" legislation, House Bill 4777, would not over rule land use or zoning rules made by municipalities. Rather, he contends, he is simply attempting to restore the tradi tional division between the regu latory authority of cities and the state. "The tradition in Michigan is home rule," responded Dan Gilmartin, director of state and federal Affairs for the Michigan Municipal League. He is con cerned that, as written, the bill could prohibit residents from adopting rules in their own Now through July 24th towns regarding the way busi nesses operate. Examples of the types of ordi nances that might fall by the wayside, according to Gilmartin, are restrictions on home busi nesses and local wetlands regu I I lations, laws that are common among Michigan communities. The two are scheduled to meet late this week to see if they can iron out their differences. Gos selin said he would like to have the support of the Michigan Municipal League when the bill 0 comes up for consideration in the 0 House this fall. He said he is willing to make adjustments to the .proposal in order to get/the Municipal League's agreement. . Gilmartin, too, said he will enter the discussions with "an open mind." But it is likely to be a tough sell. "Our concern is its impact on home rule. We feel strongly it is best to make the decisions about how a community should be run closer to home. It is best for the community to make those deci sions, rather than a one-size-fits- all approach by the state," Gilmartin said. "It is clear that firms looking to locate in Michigan will be repelled by a patchwork of com peting regulatory schemes," Gos selin said.

"It's a liquid asphalt with a fine sand-type of aggregate," Mahoney said. The oyerlay is about 3/8ths of an inch thick.

The Plymouth Lightning swept a pair from the Plymouth Thunder, using a four-inning no- hitter by Amanda Sutton in en opening 16-0 romp, then getting a three-hitter from Jacqui Sle- bodn.ick in the nightcap, a 12-2 victory in five innings. The two wins improved the Lightning's record to 10-1. In the first game, Sutton was more than enough for the Thun der, both in the field and at the plate. She did not allow a hit or a walk, striking out five in four innings. Kristen Miller took the loss for the Thunder. Sutton also slugged a two-run home run and drove in three runs in the first game.
