Evaluate potash mining risks to protect Michigan's environment

To: Gov. Whitmer, Sen. Outman, Rep. Posthumus

From: A constituent in Rockford, MI

June 14

I believe it is crucial to address the potential environmental risks associated with the proposed potash mining project in Michigan. The plan to extract $65 billion worth of minerals raises concerns about the impact on roads, wetlands, and our cherished Great Lakes. While economic growth is important, it should not come at the expense of irreparable damage to our natural resources and infrastructure. We must prioritize responsible and sustainable development that protects our state's ecological treasures for future generations. I urge you to thoroughly evaluate the long-term consequences and implement stringent regulations to safeguard our environment and communities. Economic prosperity and environmental stewardship can coexist through careful planning and enforceable oversight.
