WALBERG WORKS TO EMPOWER MICHIGAN REGARDING IMPORTATION OF CANADIAN TRASH

U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI7) today joined with the entire Michigan delegation in co-sponsoring the International Solid Waste Importation and Management Act, legislation reducing the importation of solid waste from Canada. The bill was introduced by John D. Dingell (D-MI15) and Mike Rogers (R-MI08).

"This important legislation will help protect the health and security of our people and beauty of our land. I am proud to be a part of this bi-partisan group to give the state of Michigan the authority on how to deal with trash coming across the Canadian border," Walberg said.
