LANSING, MI-- The Michigan Senate has passed resolutions sponsored by Senators Tom Casperson and Phil Pavlov that oppose regulations on personal grills and barbecues.
The resolutions oppose an Environmental Protection Agency-backed student project to develop technology to reduce emissions from residential barbecues. They say cooking outdoors on a grill in the summer saves electricity and that funding the University of California-Riverside study is a poor use of taxpayer dollars.
Casperson says the project is the latest in a long string of ridiculous and overly burdensome regulations pursued by the EPA.
The resolutions now go to the House for consideration.
