Site will provide latest news, meeting times and public interaction

State Rep. Lynn Afendoulis, of Grand Rapids Township, today announced the creation of a special website to keep people informed about the House Select Committee on Reducing Car Insurance Rates and give 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.

“The committee tasked solely with lowering car insurance rates for motorists statewide wants to hear from West Michigan drivers,” said Afendoulis, who serves as a member of the committee. “Through the website, residents will be able to provide critical input during the deliberation process to ensure their voices are being heard.”

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.

“We want to make sure this lengthy process is transparent and easy to understand, and includes opportunities for Michigan drivers to stay up to date on reform efforts,” Afendoulis said. “We are going to get this right.”

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