🎙️ New episode: From Bottlenecks to Breakthroughs

Permitting can drive economic growth – but when it’s slow or unpredictable, projects stall and costs climb.

We discuss how smarter, more timely, consistent and transparent processes can support job creation while ensuring we're protecting our natural resources.

🎙️Our Legal Reform Series – Part 3: Legislative Solutions to Lawsuit Abuse

This episode features State Rep. Mike Harris, sponsor of House Bill 5281 to bring transparency and guardrails to third-party litigation funding, and State Rep. Jerry Neyer, sponsor of House Bill 4582 to restore the commonsense “open & obvious” standard.

The conversation outlines what these proposals would do, why they matter and how the reforms preserve access to the courts while promoting fairness and predictability in Michigan’s legal system.
