Everyone involved (so many people) has my gratitude and appreciation

Yesterday, Rep. Mike Harris tried to recognize February as School Resource Officer Month.
House Dems sent his resolution to die in committee.
That's not going to stop him from honoring school resource officers.

The governor's population council is considering recommending tax hikes as it tries to reverse Michigan's population loss.
Raising taxes on Michiganders and small businesses will make life in our state more expensive and drive people away to more affordable places to live.
"The new proposal that passed will be very damaging for manufacturers" Thereby chasing manufacturing to other states and indeed other countries, achieving nothing but fewer careers for MI workers: Changing policy climate will cool Michigan's growth https://t.co/MEVODIYFcM via @detroitnews@NolanFinleyDN@KaitlynBuss@WMPF
