"Ms. Birkholz's proposal has the full support of Senate Majority Leader Ken Sikkema, who in 2001 led the bipartisan Senate Great Lakes Preservation Task Force that issued an urgent call for action to improve how the state managed its water resources. Developing and approving new legislation to protect the state's groundwater supplies was among the task force's top five priorities."
