Brown, of Port Huron, is an avid scuba diver, making dozens of dives a
week in the river and southern Lake Huron."I only come up here on days that end in 'y'," he

| Oil spill in Gulf of Mexico holds many lessons for Michigan | As we are witnessing right now in the Gulf of Mexico, oil spills know no

could have different laws on drilling in our shared waters, putting us
