Bovine Tuberculosis

Bovine Tuberculosis rates are increasing in Northern Michigan deer herds. Michigan Department of Natural Resources said that 1.8 percent of deer tested in 2008 were infected with Bovine TB up from 1.4 percent in 2007.

The Bovine Tuberculosis outbreak among deer populations in Michigan began in the
1990’s. Since then the DNR has attempted too contain the outbreak with little luck.

Fisherman Beware

Michigan is no longer the fisherman’s paradise it used to be. In-fact the number of licensed anglers in the State are on a decline. Partially because our water ways are literally becoming open sewers.

In February 2008 we had a release of 43 million gallons of partially treated sewage into the Saginaw Bay. That’s around 37 gallons of sewage for every licensed angler in the State. Not to mention that is just one release! There have been many more.

The United States may begin importing nuclear waste

The private company EnergySolutions is (sic) attempting to bribe the state of Utah with 50% of the net revenue for the disposal of the low level nuclear waste from Italy.

I find this too be horrifying can you imagine if this nuclear waste somehow contaminated a communities drinking water….or somehow was released into the environment…

Although horrifying I’m not surprised. The State of Michigan has been importing Canadian Garbage for several years now. I guess importing nuclear waste is the next logical step.
