My colleagues and I in the state legislature are focused on continuing to lower costs for small business owners and working folks in Calhoun County and all across this great state. We've expanded the number of families and working individuals eligible for the earned income tax credit, secured free breakfast and lunches for all of Michigan's public school students, repealed the disastrous "retirement tax" for seniors, and repealed "right-to-work" laws to make sure working people can effectively bargain for safer workplaces and fairer wages.Thank you Elisha Mayes, Plumeria Botanical Boutique, for hosting this important discussion with Gretchen Whitmer and local workers. Only 5 days left until election day – make sure your voice is heard. See MoreSee Less
