I am happy to have my colleagues join me in declaring today, May 13th, as Rail Day in the State of Michigan.

The Kalamazoo River is a vital resource to Michigan and our community.

The disastrous sediment release at Morrow Dam set back our progress to restore this waterway. It choked the growth of fish and wildlife for many seasons. 1/3
