“No county should be dumping its waste onto another county, especially when the dumping practice is a direct result of blatant mismanagement,” said Wozniak, R-Shelby Township. “It should go without saying that no county should be treated as a dumping ground by another.

Without legislative action, independent restaurant and small business owners across Michigan, especially in the U.P., will be forced to make these excruciating decisions or shut down entirely. It cannot be allowed to happen.”
