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.

    CHRONOLOGY OF MICHIGAN HISTORY 1618-1701 1618 Etienne Brulé passes through North Channel at the neck of Lake Huron; that same year (or during two following years) he lands at Sault Ste. Marie, probably the first European to look upon the Sault. The Michigan Native American population is approximately 15,000. 1621 Brulé returns, explores the Lake Superior coast, and notes copper deposits. 1634 Jean Nicolet passes through the Straits of Mackinac and travels along Lake Michigan’s northern shore, seeking a route to the Orient. 1641 Fathers Isaac Jogues and Charles Raymbault conduct religious services at the Sault. 1660 Father René Mesnard establishes the first regular mission, held throughout winter at Keweenaw Bay. 1668 Father Jacques Marquette takes over the Sault mission and founds the first permanent settlement on Michigan soil at Sault Ste. Marie. 1669 Louis Jolliet is guided east by way of the Detroit River, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. 1671 Simon François, Sieur de St. Lusson, lands at the Sault, claims vast Great Lakes region, comprising most of western America, for Louis XIV. St. Ignace is founded when Father Marquette builds a mission chapel. First of the military outposts, Fort de Buade (later known as Fort Michilimackinac), is established at St. Ignace. 1673 Jolliet and Marquette travel down the Mississippi River. 1675 Father Marquette dies at Ludington. 1679 The Griffon, the first sailing vessel on the Great Lakes, is built by René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and lost in a storm on Lake Michigan. ➤ La Salle erects Fort Miami at the mouth of the St.

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.
