“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. My home in Macomb may be most affected by this issue now – but this legislation would prohibit these disgusting practices from occurring across Michigan.”

“Something about the state garnishing paychecks if workers don’t check a box doesn’t pass the smell test, regardless of how well intentioned it might be,” said Wozniak, R-Shelby Township. “Anyone can walk into a bank right now and sign up for a 401(k) program – it isn’t hard. Forcing small business owners to facilitate deposits into IRA accounts that no one asked for, and which workers may not even be fully aware of, is deceitful and a clear government overstep.”
