- Environmental advocates appeal, arguing in favor of stricter regulations on factory farms
Environmental advocacy groups in Michigan are appealing a court ruling that invalidated parts of a permit regulating factory farm waste management. The court, led by Judge Richard Garcia, struck down regulations added by the state's environmental director but upheld others, including winter waste application bans. The groups argue the decision conflicts with legal precedents and undermines environmental protections.
