“School districts across Michigan, including those in our West Michigan communities, will still lose millions of dollars in critical funding under the plan they put forth today. School resource officers and counselors will be laid off, despite the vital role they play in the lives of students and the overall safety of our classrooms, putting kids at greater risk for harm.”

“The Supreme Court has emboldened rulemaking agencies to issue permits to effectuate policy instead of abiding by the public rulemaking process. It is a sad day when a win is handed to regulators over the everyday men and women who grow and raise our food. The court’s ruling in favor of EGLE is an outrageous blow to Michigan agriculture and the precedent set here encourages bureaucratic bloat. The scheme will hurt farmers that are looking for clear guidance on agriculture permits.”
