Phil Potvin (born November 7, 1946) is a member of the Michigan House of Representatives, first elected in 2010 and re-elected to a second term in 2012. His district consists of Wexford, Mecosta, and western Osceola Counties. In 1996, Potvin was cited by Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for the illegal dumping of several hundred gallons of toxic materials into an old elevator pit by Cadillac's branch of Western Concrete Products Company. The clean-up effort ranged from 1998 until its termination in 2002 and cost the company $162,500 in fines. [2]
