The family says state regulators stayed silent for months, then filed a lawsuit days after testimony supporting a bill to limit permitting requirements for small ponds.
I have been following this story and government overreach on what we do on our own property that we own and paying for permits is ridiculous. I totally understand wet lands and drainage into/out of but this was approved then all this waste of time and money by the property owner and our tax money that is fighting a ridiculous case. We need a law to protect property owners rights.
I have heard other interviews you have done with this family. It's time for this nonsense to stop. He's built a wetland on his own property. His kids and family have learned how to live in the same ecosystem together with the wildlife. The government wants to micromanage. If I remember right he got all the permissions he needed from his township board, and city officials. It never needed to go this far.
They didn’t protect a wetland that our family partnership had owned. We were told years ago we couldn’t tree farm it because of it being a wetland. So we sold the property. The new owners excavated all the trees. Cleared the land and planted blueberries on it. Now it’s all for sale. I say “different strokes for different folks “.

The government always wants to micromanage. We all are just renting the land we purchased with blood sweat and tears. Something has to give.
