Lincoln Street Telephone: 989-672-3700 Suite 500 Fax: 989-672-4011 Caro, Ml 48723 RESOLUTION SUPPORTING HCR 31 WHEREAS, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Coips of Engineers (Corps) have released a 371 page draft regulation for Definition of Waters of the U.S under the Clean Water Act; and WHEREAS, both agencies are seeking a rule change to give the federal government more authority by expanding the definition of “navigable waters” in the Clean Water Act; and WHEREAS, the rule change proposed by the EPA and the Corps would subject almost all physical areas with a connection to downstream navigable waters, including features such as ditches, natural or man-made ponds, and flood plains, to the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act; and WHEREAS, the proposed rule change, if adopted, will cause significant harm to local farmers, stall the development of businesses, take control of land used for sustainable food production out of our local providers' hands, and negatively impact county-owned and maintained infrastructure such as roadside ditches and county drains; and WHEREAS, the cost to our farms, municipalities, and taxpayers will be enormous; and WHEREAS, HCR 31 calls for the EPA and Corps to withdraw their proposed rule expanding the definition of “waters of the United States’' under the Clean Water Act; and WHEREAS, this Board concurs with HCR 31. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Tuscola County Board of Commissioners wholly supports HCR 31 calling for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw their proposed rule expanding the definition of “waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be forwarded to Representative Terry Brown, Senator Mike Green, Governor Rick Snyder, the Michigan Association of Counties, Congressman Dan Kildee, U.S.

Proven Results TROTT ANNOUNCEMENT OPENS DOOR TO 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RACE U.S. Rep. Dave Trott (R-Birmingham) announced that he will not seek re-election next year, leading numerous Republicans and Democrats to consider running for this 11th Congressional District seat, which leans Republican but could be up for grabs from either side. The list of potential candidates keeps growing as it appears to be pulling candidates from other races, including Sen. Mike Kowall (R-White Lake) who withdrew from next year’s Secretary of State race on Thursday, amidst speculation that he will seek the 11th Congressional District seat. Democrats Haley Stevens and Fayrouz Saad have also said they are running. Rep. Tim Greimel (D- Auburn Hills) and Dan Haberman, founder and owner of Byte and Mortar Offices in Troy, were also named potential Democratic candidates. Other potential Republican candidates include Troy City Councilmember Ethan Baker, former U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio of Milford, Plymouth Township Supervisor Kurt Heise, Rep. Martin Howrylak (R-Troy), Sen. Marty Knollenberg (R-Troy), Rep. Michael McCready (R-Bloomfield Hills), and Rep. Jim Runestad (R-White Lake). SCHUETTE ANNOUNCES RUN FOR GOVERNOR Attorney General Bill Schuette announced his campaign for governor last Tuesday, kicking off his race at the Midland County Fairgrounds. Schuette, who said he has “an independent record of accomplishment," promised that if elected, he would cut state income taxes, push Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and bring more and better-paying jobs to Michigan.

    A M ONTHLYPolitical P OLL C O mp IL A TION Report Volume 9, Issue 10 • November 2013 Conspiracy Theories Fifty years after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the belief that more than one person was involved in his assassination remains the most widely held conspiracy theory in America. In an April 2013 poll, 59 percent said others were involved. In this issue of AEI’s Political Report, we look at public views on a number of events that elicit conspiracy theories, from Franklin Roosevelt’s purported knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor to the belief that Osama bin Laden is alive. Comparisons across events are difficult with polls taken at different points in time, but it does not appear that any particular demographic group is more inclined to believe in conspiracy theories than any other.

Older Americans Month Healthy Tomorrow.” Special attention will paid this year on how indi- Trainers: We Need You viduals and communities can work together to prevent falls among seniors. To learn more about Older American’s Month, please visit: Federal Elder Abuse www.ncoa.org Funding Silver Key Coalition Update Did you know… Older Michiganians Day …each year, one in three Americans aged 65 and older falls? …every 29 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall? …every 15 seconds an older adult is treated in an emergency department for a fall-related injury? …the nation spends more than $30 billion annually on direct medical costs arising from elder falls? This year the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee is recommending $10 million for elder fall prevention from the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF). PPHF funds would be used in part to invest in cost effective evidence-based fall prevention programs such as, Tai Chi, Stepping On, and the Otago Exercise program. These programs have reduced falls in randomized controlled trials at rates of 55%, 30% and 35% respectively when delivered to adults 80 years of age and older. Additionally these programs are cost effective as shown in the 2013 Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Evaluation of Community-Based Wellness and Preven- tion Programs. For instance, the Matter of Balance fall prevention program was associated with a $938 annu- al decrease in medical costs per participant.
