Learn How to Influence Your Community’s Clean Water Policies
Use the power of your voice to influence the future of our water by becoming a Change Maker!
The Huron River Watershed Council is hosting FREE workshops about the Huron River and its watershed, the impacts of development on clean water, how local governments can make policies to protect drinking water and preserve natural areas, and the many ways to connect with and influence the process.
Your voice matters! Make clean water for drinking and recreation a priority in your community. You will learn effective ways to use your voice when attending local government meetings, offering comments on community ordinance and master plan revisions or specific developments, seeking appointment to a planning commission or running for election.
You will also learn how to guide development to support livable neighborhoods and ecosystems. Learn how to reduce budgets and improve the quality of life in your community by protecting forests, wetlands, floodplains, and streams.
Register here for the November 18 workshop.

Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
