New committee website to provide latest news, meeting times and public interaction

State Rep. Daire Rendon, of Lake City, today announced the creation of a special website to keep people informed about the House Select Committee on Reducing Car Insurance Rates while giving Michigan drivers a chance to have their voices heard.

The committee today launched www.ReduceMiRatesNow.com, allowing anyone to easily offer input that could help shape future legislation.

“If we are going to craft a real solution benefiting all drivers facing the nation’s highest car insurance premiums, we need to hear from the very people paying them,” said Rendon, who serves as majority vice chair of the committee. “I encourage all northern Michigan drivers to share their stories to help ensure their interests are represented in the deliberation process.”

The committee website will include a news tab allowing residents to keep up to date with developments and committee meeting schedules. Ideas submitted by Michigan drivers concerning legislation will go directly to the committee, assuring every submission will be considered.

“Let your voice be heard,” Rendon said. “We are all in this together as motorists, and I am confident we can provide a remedy to the system responsible for forcing many households into financial hardship.”

Rendon also encourages residents to “like” the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ReduceMiRatesNow/ to follow the latest news regarding the committee.
