Proven Results TROTT ANNOUNCEMENT OPENS DOOR TO 11TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RACE U.S. Rep. Dave Trott (R-Birmingham) announced that he will not seek re-election next year, leading numerous Republicans and Democrats to consider running for this 11th Congressional District seat, which leans Republican but could be up for grabs from either side. The list of potential candidates keeps growing as it appears to be pulling candidates from other races, including Sen. Mike Kowall (R-White Lake) who withdrew from next year’s Secretary of State race on Thursday, amidst speculation that he will seek the 11th Congressional District seat. Democrats Haley Stevens and Fayrouz Saad have also said they are running. Rep. Tim Greimel (D- Auburn Hills) and Dan Haberman, founder and owner of Byte and Mortar Offices in Troy, were also named potential Democratic candidates. Other potential Republican candidates include Troy City Councilmember Ethan Baker, former U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio of Milford, Plymouth Township Supervisor Kurt Heise, Rep. Martin Howrylak (R-Troy), Sen. Marty Knollenberg (R-Troy), Rep. Michael McCready (R-Bloomfield Hills), and Rep. Jim Runestad (R-White Lake). SCHUETTE ANNOUNCES RUN FOR GOVERNOR Attorney General Bill Schuette announced his campaign for governor last Tuesday, kicking off his race at the Midland County Fairgrounds. Schuette, who said he has “an independent record of accomplishment," promised that if elected, he would cut state income taxes, push Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and bring more and better-paying jobs to Michigan.

  • Michigan 2018 Lame Duck Legislative Session Scorecard -- Dec 21 2018.Pdf
    2018 Michigan Legislative Lame DuckSCORECARD 1 2018 Michigan Legislative Overview ......................................2 Vote Descriptions .........................3 Lame Scorecard: Senate ........................4 DuckSCORECARD Scorecard: House .........................5 The 2018 lame duck legislative session has moved at a record pace. More than 300 bills were introduced since the midterm elections on November 6th. Lame duck sessions are often used by corporate lobbyists and lame duck lawmakers, no longer accountable to their constituents, to push through wildly unpopular legislation in the final days of the year. During the 2012 lame duck session, the Emergency Manager law was reinstated, just weeks after having been struck down by voters at the ballot box. This year’s lame duck legislative session has been the most anti-environment and anti-democracy in Michigan’s history. Clean Water Action has been organizing voters, leading lobby day activities, testifying at committee hearings, hosting rallies and keeping our members up-to-date on the blatant and daily attacks on our water and democracy. The following scorecard tracks some of the worst legislative assaults on our water and democracy. On all bills tracked in this scorecard, the pro-environment and pro-democracy position was to oppose (a No vote) the legislation in question. There have been many bad bills introduced this session, but the following six are the worst of the worst. Brief descriptions of the legislation are below. Each bill has been weighted equally. If a Senator or Representative was absent (A) from the vote in question, that vote does not affect their overall score. In 2019, we will have a new legislature and new state leadership, but some of the elected officials scored below will be returning to Lansing.

  • October 12Th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We Urge You to Take Up
    October 12th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We urge you to take up and support the substitute version of Senate Bill 241 sponsored by Sen. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit). The bill places a statewide moratorium on water shut offs through the end of the year and ensures water service is restored to any Michigander currently shut off. Access to water is essential to human life at any time, but even more so during a public health pandemic when hand washing and bathing is critical to limiting spread and exposure to COVID-19. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Order 2020-144 required public water supplies to restore water service to Michiganders across the state during the state of emergency. The EO allowed low-income households – many of whom are fixed income, unemployed, underemployed and/or essential workers – to have essential water service. The recent Michigan Supreme Court decision invalidated the EO, leaving behind an inadequate patchwork of local policies for water access for our most vulnerable Michigan households, including the elderly, children, people with disabilities, and pregnant women. Michiganders across the state are experiencing financial hardship that has put their access to basic utility services at risk. This is a statewide problem that needs a statewide solution. Unfortunately, Michigan has no comprehensive water service reporting requirements so access to data on water shut offs is limited. In Detroit – the most glaring example of water unaffordability and shut offs – a Freedom of Information Act request by Joel Kurth from Bridge Magazine found that 9,500 occupied homes that were disconnected for non-payment in 2019 were still without service in mid-January 2020.1 Further, a national survey found that the average water utility disconnected five percent of households for nonpayment in 2016, affecting an estimated 15 million Americans.2 EO 2020-144 did include a one-time reporting requirement, but the reporting from public water supplies under the EO was flawed and filled with gaps and missing data points.

  • To: Michigan House Agriculture Committee with All Due Respect To
    Gabrielle Hume 3395 LeValley Rd Columbiaville, MI 48421 Resident of House District 82 To: Michigan House Agriculture Committee Honorable Julie Alexander (Chair) and members Mike Mueller, Beau LaFave, Michele Hoitenga, Gary Eisen, Pauline Wendzel, Brian Elder, Kevin Coleman, Alex Garza, Cynthia Johnson, Angela Witwer: and Committee clerk Dakota Soda: To: 2019-HIB 5239 Sponsors: Honorable Hank Vaupel, Eric Leutheuser, Tommy Brann, Gary Howell: With all due respect to all honorable committee members and those representatives that have sponsored 2019-HIB 5239, I offer my comments. What exactly IS the horse industry in Michigan? • Horses used for 3-4 months of the year at Mackinac Island? • Horses used in Amish communities for transportation and farming? • Horse breeders? • Horses used by youth and adults in competitions for ribbons and small monetary prizes (under $1000)? • State/DNR-operated riding stables? What exactly needs to be promoted and to whom? My past 30 or more years of experience with equine activities in Michigan have led me to realize that the majority of horse owners in this state own horses for recreational purposes. I would suggest that less than one-half of those owners use their horses for any type of financial reward or prize recognition through competition. Quite a number of those recreational horses are used by youth participating in local 4H or regional horse shows - typically doing so on a tight budget. There is also a small group of horse owners who rescue and maintain facilities for unwanted horses and those who provide facilities (with required training and certifications) for therapeutic riding opportunities for veterans, mentally challenged children and adults, and physically impaired persons.
