Dear Members,
As the transportation and infrastructure funding battle continues to gain traction in Lansing, we need YOUR help to keep the momentum going around the state. Two state representatives currently have transportation and infrastructure funding surveys on their websites, and we need all of our members to partake in an effort to show the legislature that this is an important issue that requires action now.
District 39: Rep. Klint Kesto – R, Commerce Township
District 70: Rep. Rick Outman – R, Six Lakes
In addition to taking these surveys in the comfort of your homes, there are numerous town hall meetings taking place across the state this month. Each of these town halls will focus on Michigan’s transportation infrastructure and the funding of it. We need to produce a strong showing at each of these town halls, so please mark your calendars, and RSVP your attendance to Mariam Robinson by calling her at 517-853-5866 or by emailing her at mariamrobinson@mi-ita.com.
