TRAVERSE CITY, MI -- Global Warming was a hot topic at Wednesday night’s Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners meeting.

The County’s Climate Action Plan was cast into the spotlight. Some commissioners feel that wording in the plan promotes Global Warming as a political agenda.

“I'd like to see the County adopt efficiency standards…so that we can save the tax payers money in energy efficiency and in energy savings…..I don't think it has to be tied to a Global Warming agenda to do it,” said Commissioner Jason Gillman.

Despite some protest, the Board decided to keep the “Climate Change” wording in their plan, which is designed to use “green” technology to save tax payers money and cut down on energy use.
