Press Release VAN BUREN TWP., Mich., July 23, 2025 — State Rep. Reggie Miller (D–Van Buren Twp.) issued the following statement after today’s U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announcement that rad...2 CommentsComment on Facebook
This win could not have been achieved without the collaborative efforts of concerned citizens and activists, local communities, and elected officials. You made your voices heard, and your organized efforts kept the pressure on to impact this outcome. This is a direct result of our dedicated residents raising their voices and saying: you will not endanger the health of our communities. Not here, not now and not ever. We are not your dumping ground. Period.
Make no mistake about it, this decision was not made out of goodwill. It was made because everyday residents raised their voices and refused to back down. This is a small victory for the people of Van Buren Township and the surrounding communities who demanded to be heard, and a win for environmental justice and public health.
This case was never about one shipment. It’s about a dangerous pattern of importing radioactive waste into Michigan without proper safeguards, transparency, or public input. A reroute is a win, but the fight for permanent protections is far from over. While we fight to stop radioactive waste from entering our state, permits have been filed requesting to expand the landfill even more, which is outrageous.
The ongoing court case must receive a ruling based on the facts presented during the hearings, so my constituents know their community will be safe in the future. The people of Wayne County are owed more than a desperate effort to mitigate the situation with PR stunts about community engagement to shift the narrative and minimize damage.
Radioactive waste has no business coming through our neighborhoods without local input or consent. Wayne County families deserve to know their health and safety will never be put up for negotiation. We cannot let legal maneuvering distract from the real issue: protecting our water, air, and health. My bill is still on the table and I will keep continuing on in this fight.

The deadline for this state budget is non-negotiable. It is crucial for our schools and hometowns to effectively plan their own fiscal years. Though House leadership has unfortunately blown past the deadline, I remain committed to working with my colleagues to ensure that this budget protects the services Michigan's students and school districts need most.

It’s July 15th, and our schools are still waiting for a budget that was due on July 1st. Our kids, teachers, and families deserve better. When elected officials don’t show up to do their jobs, classrooms pay the price. Michigan deserves better!

Unfortunately, after stalled negotiations yesterday ahead of the July 1st deadline, our schools are planning in the dark for their next fiscal year. Passing a balanced state budget is our most important responsibility as legislators, as it is the only responsibility of the Legislature that is directly outlined in the state constitution. I won't support a budget that places cuts on the backs of our students and teachers.
