LaFave: ‘Gov. Wantmore’ determined to make life for future generations of Michiganders as difficult as possible

RELEASE|January 30, 2020

Lawmaker issues response to State of the State address

“This isn’t Washington, D.C. We are not in the business of forcing tomorrow’s Michiganders to fix today’s problems. The unborn are not a credit card. Just like every family in Michigan knows, if you want nice things you must pay for them. And maxing out the credit cards is not how you do it.

“Whitmer’s logic on the unborn is quite simple, ‘if I can’t kill them now, I suppose I could just tax them to death later.’”

House approves Rep. Zorn’s plan to better support the education of children in military families

Abe LincolnPOSTS|12.3.24

The Michigan House has approved Rep. Dale Zorn’s bill that would encourage Michigan schools to better accommodate students who frequently change schools because of their parents’ military service.

The bill helps establish the Purple Star Program, a program that certifies schools that support military children enduring frequent relocation. Certification through this program means that a school is prepared to respond to the unique needs of military-connected students and provides resources and information to assist students and their families with the process of enrolling and attending the school.
