State Rep. Pauline Wendzel will host a community forum that will focus on road funding, local road projects, and the recently signed auto-insurance reform law on Thursday, July 18th.

Rep. Wendzel will be bringing in Representative Jason Wentworth, Senator Aric Nesbitt, Senator Kim LaSata, and Jason Latham to provide an update and answer the questions of Berrien County residents.

“The two most talked about issues I hear from the people of Southwest Michigan are roads and car insurance,” Rep. Wendzel said. “I’m bringing in the best of the best, Representative Wentworth and Senator Nesbitt, to explain our historic auto-insurance solution to the people of our community.  Senator LaSata and I will give updates on both the House and Senate road funding proposals while Mr. Latham gives an update on local projects happening right here in Berrien County.
