“I’m not sure if it’s incompetence or a disregard for the wellbeing of our kids, but this audit shows that leadership within MDHHS is incapable of caring for the children who need us most,” said Kunse, R-Clare. “These kids were failed by their parents. Many of them were failed by another guardian as well. Yet, when someone finally calls about the abuse, the state sits on their hands for three days before looking into it. That could be three more days without meals or three more days of abuse. All we can hope is that a failure to respond didn’t result in a child not making it three more days.”

“We can all stand to learn something from a heroic fighter like Sgt. Webber,” said Kunse, R-Clare. “The man was willing to sacrifice everything on our behalf. His dedication deserves recognition for years to come. This highway naming is a well-deserved honor for an American hero from Northern Michigan.”
