Quotes

Here’s quotes from supporters of the MiWater cause.

Gov. William Milliken, MiWater Honorary Chairman: “For far too long the politics of division have played too large a role in southeast Michigan and throughout the state. Division by race, division by economic status, division by geography have all been exploited and continue to be exploited by some for their own short-term political gain. But in pursuing their own narrow personal interests, they have held Michigan back.”

Gary Miron, PhD, Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership, Research and Technology at Western Michigan University: “Water is the next future commodity. Risking contamination of water is gambling with it. With all the water around us, Michigan will be a very attractive place to live as long as we don’t ruin it.”
