2006 Michigan Senate Debate: on Environment


Debbie Stabenow: Authored ban on Great Lakes drilling

Q: What’s your position on the federal role in water quality?

STABENOW: I authored the first ban on Great Lakes drilling. You can’t live here and not love the Great Lakes. We have a serious set of issues on our hands -- we’re tackling a 10 year plan to protect endangered species.

BOUCHARD: Water diversion shouldn’t happen. We need to protect that. We don’t need a lot of money to protect against carp - only $20M. We need someone who will actually get something done to get results.
