This is a local issue but one I suspect is going on across the country.

Basically a few years back the EPA suggested that the city could tax businesses and people who owned paved areas for rain falling on that asphalt. The city government just couldn't resist a chance to seize more money.

Naturally the people sued and eventually won. Now the city says they can't pay the money back because they spent it defending themselves from the lawsuit.

Michiganders might want to remember Judge John McBain next time a Michigan Supreme court seat comes up.

So John McBain is John McCain’s Conservative Double from Opposite Earth? (LOL)

I was thinking of the wrong McBain

It is not here yet, but it is being discussed. BTW, thank Richard Nixon for that. The Clean Water Act is what is requiring that now.

This must be the same EPA that decided that dust from unpaved roads is air pollution and needs to be regulated and fined.
