LANSING, Mich. (Jan. 24, 2024) — Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks (D-Grand Rapids) issued the following statement in reaction to Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s 2024 State of the State Address:
“It’s no secret: Michigan is hands down the best place to live, to work, and to play. Governor Whitmer’s speech tonight put that front and center. Last year, the laws we passed re-established Michigan as a fair place for workers, a safe place for students, an equitable place for seniors and families, and a protected place for women. And we’ll keep that momentum going this year, enacting policies that lower people’s costs, grow their prosperity, and improve their quality of life. We are ready to work side by side with anyone who is focused on forging that future for the people who call Michigan home today, and for the ones who will choose to put down roots here tomorrow. Because we mean what we say: Michigan is the best place a person could choose to build their life.”
