Regulations

Michigan is getting new deer hunting regulations for the 2024 season. The changes come after a months-long recommendation process.

Fewer hunters are heading to deer camp, and more Michiganders are affected by the annoyances — and dangers — of a bigger herd. The Natural Resources Commission votes on new regulations Thursday. Will it help?

It’s not uncommon to see news stories that say, “toxic forever chemicals discovered” in insert-consumer-product, but why do PFAS need to be discovered? What alternatives do we have, and what are the prospects for banning them?

Michigan is the only state that doesn’t have a statewide code for regulating septic systems, and past attempts to implement one have failed.
