This insane amendment took riparian water rights away from Michigan citizens, changing lawful property rights to water.<BR/><BR/>This little gem would have reduced farmers' rights to ground water. It also would have put private wells under the permit catagory. The Dem website had a video with them bragging that "water belongs to 'the People".<BR/>You dont need to be much of a student of history to know what problems separation of water and property rights have become in several western states when the BLM and environmental groups started trying to illegally force ranchers off their paid-for grazing and water leases. It's the perfect method of major social control: want to limit somebody's idea of urban sprawl? No well permit-and thus on occupancy permit-on your family 40 acres. Want to wrangle old shallow-well lakefront property away from owners? Condemn the well and refuse to issue a permit for a new one. Presto-instant condemnation! Want to slap a rural township or village into line? Start condemning wells and demand they provide a municipal water supply!<BR/><BR/>These people are starting to scare me more and more. We need them out of Lansing no sooner than yesterday!truckingalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08373437496280140367noreply@blogger.com
