🤔You know big $$ is to be made by COMMERICAL entities in neighborhoods when an email like this goes out. Definitely groundbreaking if you support DESTROYING neighborhoods! Balance is key! HB 4722 is all about #ProfitOverPeople@GovWhitmer@MISenate@MISenDems@MMLeague#mileg
@JordynHermani Statement from the @mmleague has been emailed to the media on about today’s vote on #HB4722. #MiLeg@dpgilmartin “This calamity is entirely avoidable. … We implore the Senate to reject this rolling disaster headed to a neighborhood near you.”
