📰 News we're reading
• Michigan bills would hike cost of dumping radioactive waste by 1,400% (planetdetroit.org) — Lawmakers are weighing big fee hikes on radioactive waste that could affect operations at the Wayne Disposal landfill near Van Buren Township, where a judge already halted Manhattan Project shipments over risks to Belleville Lake and nearby rivers. The bills would sharply raise disposal costs while offering tax credits, and local advocates warn any leak could threaten regional waterways and the Great Lakes.
