August 19, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you are all enjoying the last weeks of summer and taking precautions to protect yourself and your families from the Delta variant, as we continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been working diligently throughout the summer to connect with residents and hear about the issues most important to them, which is why I hope to see you at the Senior Summit Town Hall on Tuesday, Aug. 24. I\u2019m also participating in a water quality tele-town hall on Wednesday, Aug. 25. You can read more about both below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, included is an update on recent legislation I\u2019ve been working on to help modernize infrastructure in Michigan to better deal with extreme flooding events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, if my office can be of assistance to you or your family, please call me at 517-373-2417 or email me at SenRBayer@senate.michigan.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be well,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JOIN ME! WATER QUALITY TELEPHONE TOWN HALL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

August is National Water Quality Awareness month, and as Michiganders, we know just how valuable our water is here in our state and to the rest of the nation. Yet, Michigan also faces an array of water quality issues, ranging from sewage in our waterways to toxic PFAS chemicals, and lead and copper in our drinking water.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Great<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Join me and a few of my colleagues, as well as experts on environmental issues, for a telephone town hall on Wednesday, Aug. 25 at 6 p.m.<\/strong> to discuss Michigan\u2019s water quality issues, and to hear what House and Senate Democrats are doing about it. This is an interactive event, so there will also be an opportunity to ask questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

>> RSVP on Facebook<\/a> or click here<\/a> to get a call to join the event by phone. We\u2019ll be streaming this event across multiple social media platforms to ensure everyone who wants to be a part of the discussion can be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SENATE DEMOCRATS PROPOSE A CLIMATE RESILIENCY PLAN FOR MICHIGAN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, several colleagues and I, including both Senators and Representatives, announced a $5 billion plan to invest in Michigan\u2019s aging infrastructure in order to mitigate the ongoing effects of climate change and prevent extreme flooding events like the ones seen this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Climate<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The investment will focus on upgrading Michigan\u2019s clean water, storm and wastewater management systems to meet the increasing load brought about by our ongoing climate emergency<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the $5 billion proposed for this plan, $25 million will be allocated toward immediate flood relief, $1.5 billion for storm and wastewater infrastructure, $1.2 billion for upgrading drinking water infrastructure, $450 million in shoreline protection and restoration, $50 million for wetland mitigation, and $500 million for dam safety projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the hope of myself and the other individuals working on this plan that we will be able to come to an agreement with our counterparts across the aisle so that we can start working immediately on protecting our residents from future climate disasters.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
