GOOD NEWS! My animal fundraising license plate bill passed the senate today 24-12. Now, on to the House!
"Thank you, Mr. President.
Senate Bill 106 would create a specialty fundraising license plate in collaboration with the Secretary of State and the Michigan Pet Alliance.
Revenue from the sale of this license plate would fund two critical purposes: free or low cost spay and neuter services for low income pet owners and unowned community cats, and training and education programs for employees and volunteers working in Michigan's animal shelters and rescue organizations.

So, this bill is not only popular, but it's for a good cause. I hope we can all vote yes today on Senate Bill 106,
Thank you, Mr. President. I ask that my remarks be printed in the Journal." ... See MoreSee Less
