Regina Miller: Nuclear Waste Dump

State Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Regi­na Miller, who rep­re­sents Milan, Augus­ta Town­ship, and part of York Town­ship in Washt­e­naw Coun­ty, ran as a mod­er­ate, but has since come out as a par­ti­san extrem­ist in Lans­ing.

Among many extreme bills she spon­sored, Miller spon­sored leg­is­la­tion to allow chil­dren to run away from home and obtain irre­versible trans­gen­der med­ical pro­ce­dures with­out their par­ents’ con­sent: House Bill 4087 of 2023.

Incred­i­bly, Regi­na Miller also took cam­paign con­tri­bu­tions from a com­pa­ny that owns a local Belleville dump, which then dumped nuclear waste in their facil­i­ty. Miller then false­ly denied hav­ing received the mon­ey.

In the Washt­e­naw Coun­ty Repub­li­can Par­ty’s fli­er, they present some of the most rad­i­cal actions tak­en by Rep. Miller –in just her first few months in office.

Since then, Rep. Miller has vot­ed for gun bans, putting pornog­ra­phy in libraries, and more.

Here’s the Washt­e­naw GOP’s fli­er, with anno­ta­tions and sources below:

1. This is the repeal of Michi­gan’s Right to Work law, which pro­hibits work­ers from being fired for not pay­ing trib­ute to the labor union. Regi­na Miller, along with 50 oth­er House Democ­rats, intro­duced House Bill 4004 and vot­ed for its pas­sage. It became law on March 24, 2023.

2. House Bill 4087, which Regi­na Miller and 18 oth­er Democ­rats intro­duced on Feb­ru­ary 14, 2023, would allow run­away chil­dren to obtain “health care” with­out parental con­sent. Under Pro­pos­al 3 of 2023, “health care” includes ster­il­iza­tion and “all mat­ters relat­ing to preg­nan­cy,” which includes sex. Com­pan­ion bills HB 4085 and 4086 also mod­i­fy the def­i­n­i­tion of run­away chil­dren. The bill received a hear­ing in com­mit­tee on May 16, 2023.

3. The first bill intro­duced this year was House Bill 4001, which includes $1.5 bil­lion for cor­po­rate wel­fare, includ­ing the first install­ment of a $500 mil­lion ongo­ing source of rev­enue for the Strate­gic Out­reach and Attrac­tion Reserve, the SOAR Fund Michi­gan uses to make the hand­outs. There is anoth­er $150 mil­lion for polit­i­cal­ly con­nect­ed donors.

4. House Bill 4145 through 4148 com­prise Michi­gan’s “Red Flag” law, which was passed with unan­i­mous Democ­rats sup­port and unan­i­mous Repub­li­can oppo­si­tion, to strip gun own­ers of their right to bear arms with­out due process of law, based on unsub­stan­ti­at­ed accu­sa­tions from dis­grun­tled fam­i­ly mem­bers, neigh­bors, co-work­ers, and/or cur­rent or ex-roman­tic part­ners, or room­mates. These laws rely on the issu­ing of ex-parte (one-sided) orders autho­riz­ing law enforce­ment, includ­ing SWAT teams, to imme­di­ate­ly seize firearms from the sub­ject of the order with­out noti­fi­ca­tion or right to an attor­ney. Sim­i­lar leg­is­la­tion was recent­ly struck down in New York in a case in which an abuser obtained a “red flag” law against an ex-girl­friend who had obtained a restrain­ing order against him. We await the day Michi­gan’s new Red Flag law is struck down as well. Regi­na Miller also sup­port oth­er assaults on the Sec­ond Amend­ment, includ­ing uni­ver­sal gun reg­is­tra­tion and “lock up your safe­ty” leg­is­la­tion.

5. House Bill 4234, which Regi­na Miller and 33 oth­er Democ­rats intro­duced on March 9, 2023, would allow for auto­mat­ic pay­roll deduc­tion for Polit­i­cal Action Com­mit­tee con­tri­bu­tions.

6. Repeal­ing Michi­gan’s 3rd grade read­ing law was a pri­or­i­ty for Democ­rats. Sen­ate Bill 12 was passed by the House on March 3, 2023 with unan­i­mous Demo­c­rat sup­port and was signed into law on March 24. Under the bill, schools may now advance chil­dren beyond the 3rd grade who can­not read, ulti­mate­ly mak­ing high­er learn­ing impos­si­ble and allow­ing schools to paper over their own fail­ings.

7. Regi­na Miller vot­ed to pass Sen­ate Bill 147, which would define abor­tion as a civ­il right and there­by require employ­ers that offer health cov­er­age to pay for their employ­ees’ abor­tions. This includes all forms of abor­tion, includ­ing late-term abor­tion, dis­mem­ber­ment abor­tion, and poi­son abor­tion.

8. Regi­na Miller and 34 oth­er Democ­rats intro­duced House Bill 4156, which would enter Michi­gan into an inter­state com­pact to bind its pres­i­den­tial elec­tors to vote for the can­di­date who wins the nation­al pop­u­lar vote, even if that can­di­date los­es the pop­u­lar vote in Michi­gan. This would also mean vote fraud in oth­er states over which Michi­gan has no con­trol could be used to steal the pres­i­den­tial elec­tion in our state.

9. Regi­na Miller and oth­er Democ­rats intro­duced House Bill 4359, which would repeal the law pre­vent­ing locals gov­ern­ment from impos­ing bans on plas­tic bags. Report­ed­ly this law was enact­ed to pre­vent these bans from being intro­duced in Ann Arbor and else­where. 

10. Regi­na Miller and oth­er Democ­rats intro­duced and passed House Bill 4007, to man­date gov­ern­ment con­tracts pay “pre­vail­ing wage” rather than com­pet­ing wages. In con­junc­tion with oth­er bills, such as 4231 that would repeal fair and open com­pe­ti­tion in gov­ern­men­tal con­struc­tion (which Regi­na Miller also intro­duced), com­pe­ti­tion is effec­tive­ly elim­i­nat­ed in gov­ern­ment con­tract­ing, result­ing in mas­sive­ly high­er costs for tax­pay­ers.

Side Two restates some of the issues on Side 1, although it also men­tions Regi­na Miller intro­duc­ing leg­is­la­tion to impose a parental man­date that they send their chil­dren to kinder­garten in a pub­lic school, House Bill 4059.
