TRASH IMPORTS – Nearly a quarter of the waste in Michigan’s landfills comes from another state or Canada, according to a recent report. The state’s low disposal fees are a magnet for the waste and at the same time discourage recycling. The problem: the state was just too good at planning how to meet capacity needs. By Kaley Fech. FOR ALL POINTS
W/ TRASH LISTS – Editors: use these lists for localization of TRASH IMPORTS. One list is the amount of waste landfilled in each Michigan county. The other is how much waste each country contributes to Michigan landfills.

TRUE CRIME – Stagecoach robberies and bordellos are part of the folklore of the Wild West, but they’re also part of Michigan’s crime history. A new true crime book by an author from Buckley tells tales of bank heists from Mancelona to Bay City to Grand Haven, ill-fated brothel keepers in Clare and Delta counties and dimwit crooks like the Flint teacher who wore a distinctive Tweety Bird cap when she walked up to a bank’s drive-through window with a threatening note and another bank robber who posted on Facebook a selfie that matched surveillance camera photos. Baby Face Nelson, “King” James Strang of Beaver Island, Al Capone and John Dillinger make appearances as well. By Eric Freedman. FOR PETOSKEY, TRAVERSE CITY, CADILLAC, CLARE, BAY MILLS, MARQUETTE, SAULT STE. MARIE, CHEBOYGAN, HOLLAND AND ALL POINTS.
