A lawsuit has been filed against the Lake Erie Bill of Rights not even a day after it passed.

 

The Lake Erie Bill of Rights was approved by voters on Tuesday, giving citizens the right to sue on behalf of Lake Erie.

 

The Drewes Farms from Custar in Wood County filed it in federal court in Toledo on Wednesday morning.

 

"While this is one very brave farmer taking action, how this ultimately is decided will have implications for farmers not just in Ohio but across the nation," said Joe Cornely, Ohio Farm Bureau spokesman.

 

In a 27 page complaint, the farm calls the action unconstitutional and unlawful, saying in part "the ability to properly fertilize its fields is crucial to the success of the Drewes Farms farming operations."

 

The Ohio Farm Bureau pledged its support to the farm and says there is a better way to ensure a cleaner Lake Erie.
