Board of Commissioners Calls for Regional Collaboration to Keep Drinking Water Safe

by dbates on May 18, 2011

After hearing an alarming status report on the dwindling funding for Macomb County’s drinking water monitoring system, the Board of Commissioners is calling for the county’s partners in the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, Detroit River Drinking Water Protection Network to join efforts to ensure that funding for the system continues.

During a special Finance Committee meeting held Monday, commissioners learned that funds for the state-of-the-art, real-time network — which provides early detection of source water contamination from chemical spills and other pollutants for nearly three million people — could be depleted as early as December 2011.

“We’ve developed a world class system to protect the public from potentially deadly sources of contamination, and we need to do all we can to make sure we keep providing this crucial service,” said Finance Committee Chair Don Brown…

State Rep. Anderea LaFontaine Resolution Commemorates May as Lyme Disease Awareness Month

by dbates on May 18, 2011

The Michigan House approved a resolution sponsored by state Rep. Andrea LaFontaine that commemorates May 2011 as Lyme Disease Awareness Month in Michigan.

“Our state thrives upon a culture of hard work, but our ample outdoor recreation opportunities afford all of us a beautiful place to unwind,” said LaFontaine, R-Richmond. “As the summer season approaches, I encourage people across our great state to be aware of Lyme disease so they can enjoy the outdoors often and safely.”

Lyme disease is an illness caused by the painless bite of a tiny deer tick that causes serious problems involving the heart, joints, and nervous systems in humans and animals. While detection of the disease is difficult because initial symptoms often disappear, prompt medical attention will minimize complications of the illness. Early symptoms include headaches, stiff muscles and joints, fever, nausea, and fatigue, yet more serious problems occur later.

House Resolution 88 reminds citizens of prevention tactics, symptoms of Lyme disease, treatment methods, as well as proper precautions and safety rules of Michigan woodlands. For more information on how to prevent Lyme disease, visit www.michigan.gov/emergingdiseases.

Congresswoman Candice Miller: Update on PHMSA’s Review of Bruce Power’s Shipping Plan

by dbates on May 18, 2011

U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller (MI-10) received a status update from the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) on their review of Bruce Power Ltd.’s, the Canadian energy company, plan to ship the 16 decommissioned steam generators with radioactive contents to Sweden by way of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway.

“PHMSA has informed my office that Bruce Power has withdrawn their request and application to ship the 16 decommissioned nuclear steam generators through the Great Lakes. PHMSA is the agency within the U.S. which Bruce Power would have to receive approval of if they transport their shipment through U.S. territory, and must comply with PHMSA’s entire review to ensure that all safety and environmental concerns are addressed before making a decision regarding this shipment,” Miller said. “I will stay in contact with PHMSA in the event Bruce Power resubmits their application and ensure that there is a thorough and factual investigation in concert with the U.S. Coast Guard and their Canadian counterparts.”

Congresswoman Candice Miller: We Must End the Pain at the Pump by Reducing Our Energy Costs and Become More Energy Independent

by dbates on May 7, 2011

U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller (MI-10) today praised the U.S. House of Representatives passage of the Restarting American Offshore Leasing Now Act (H.R. 1230). This measure would require the Department of the Interior (DOI) to conduct offshore oil and gas lease sales and allow our nation to get back on track with energy exploration, produce additional energy resources domestically and help reduce the price of gasoline at the pump.

“Today, every American is being hurt by ever escalating prices at the pump and rising energy prices threatening our economic recovery and the creation of new jobs. We simply cannot continue to delay or cancel the increased production of domestic energy and exploration. As energy costs continue to skyrocket, it hurts household budgets and small business and the Obama Administration has not recognized the urgency to act on solutions to bring down fuel prices and leverage our domestic energy resources to bring those prices down and create jobs,” Miller said…
