Beaver Island Forum, "ORV's Ordinance," July 18–August 13, 2008.
Forum participants discuss the environmental incident that prompted debate, Public Act 240 of 2008 authorizing local governments to permit ORVs on road shoulders, and Peaine Township's solicitation of local organizational input. The thread also correctly notes that the state law did not itself authorize island road use; no local ordinance is established here. Forum advocacy and legal interpretation are not substitutes for the statute, township minutes, or enacted ordinance.
