Dear Neighbor,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Right now, the difference between our state and federal governments could not be starker. In Lansing, my colleagues and I\u00a0remain\u00a0hard at work serving\u00a0<\/span>you<\/span><\/i>, the hardworking people of Michigan. After passing a bipartisan, balanced state budget last month,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0stayed busy delivering on the issues that matter most to our community: protecting access to food and health care, supporting first responders, making sure our government is transparent and accountable to you, and so much more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile in Washington, the Republican-controlled federal government is locked in the\u00a0longest shutdown in American history. This has already started to have severe consequences for many Michiganders, with\u00a0more and more\u00a0folks standing to be\u00a0impacted\u00a0as this impasse drags on. I understand the uncertainty and anxiety this brings, but please know that you are not alone. My team and I are here to offer support, provide helpful information, and share resources to help you navigate this\u00a0difficult situation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this newsletter, you will find updates not only on the work\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0doing for you in Lansing, but also on how the shutdown is affecting various safety net programs and resources that can help support you and your family during these\u00a0difficult times.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you or someone you know would like to provide any feedback about what\u2019s happening in Lansing, or\u00a0needs\u00a0assistance of any sort, please feel free to reach out to my office.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>You can reach me and\u00a0my t<\/span>eam by\u00a0calling\u00a0(517) 373-2417 or emailing\u00a0<\/span>SenRBayer@senate.michigan.gov<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
