Watch Bridge discussion about water priorities in the 2023 Legislature
From water as a human right to who should pay to clean up contaminated industrial sites, the new Democratic majority in the Michigan Legislature is poised to address a wide variety of issues impacting our water.
Bridge Michigan's latest Great Lakes Conservation series discussion brought together a panel of four experts to discuss where we are, and what can happen in 2023 to preserve the waters of the Great Lake State.
