Wolverine promised in 1960s to protect wells

RAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Recently uncovered documents show Wolverine Worldwide promised not to pollute Belmont water more than 50 years ago.

“This is another piece of the puzzle that (shows) this isn’t the first time this came up and this isn’t the first time the residents found it offensive and it turns out it’s not the first time it’s in a legal proceeding or the subject of a court order,” Aaron Phelps, a partner Varnum Law Firm, said of the documents.
