(MI) The Daily Mining Gazette – Last week, Gov. Jennifer Granholm issued an executive order creating the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment, effective Jan. 17, 2010.
Granholm’s order will abolish the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and reverse an action by former Gov. John Engler to create the DEQ in 1995.
In a news release, Granholm said, “The Department of Natural Resources and Environment is a new department for the 21st Century.” More
