Re: Goverment control
I got a response from my lawyer friend in Michigan. Here's his take on it:
Quote:These laws are some politician's attempt to grab some headlines at the expense of diving and historic preservation. There are 6 laws. The whole package will make all of Michigan's Great Lakes area a Michigan State Park. This puts it under DNR jurisdiction like all other parks. The DNR director has authority to impose fees on park activities and everyone says that will never happen but it has to. The DNR wants none of this because it is broke now and cannot run the largest state park in the nation with no money. We have run some projections based on more than doubling the numbers of divers coming to Michigan and we can only come up with $8-16,000 each year. That assumes a low participation rate but the consensus of divers is that that is reality. From his viewpoint, I can see where this is just an unnecessary law attempting to draw attention to something that is already protected. |
