Lawmaker Wants Drilling Ban in Michigan Constitution

Michigan state Rep. Dan Scripps (D-Leland) has called for a permanent ban on drilling in Michigan’s Great Lakes area, warning that the state’s waters could become “the next victim of a devastating oil spill disaster like the one caused by BP.” His efforts at the state level join those of a Michigan senator to ban offshore drilling in all of the Great Lakes.
