Contributing sentiments towards policy:
60% : Michigan is "No. 1 per capita in the country in terms of landfill waste, so not necessarily something to be proud of," said Phil Roos, director of the state Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).20% : The proposed increase would bring Michigan's fee more in line with other Midwestern states, say state officials, who described Whitmer's goal as twofold: To deter Canadian and out-of-state trash and increase state funding for legacy pollution cleanup.
