Great op-ed by Julie Cassidy of Michigan League for Public Policy regarding water affordability!
"For too long, Michigan’s national reputation has been shaped by crisis headlines like lead contamination and mass service shutoffs in our communities. Now, the water affordability package presents an opportunity to shine a positive light on our state by making good on their campaign season promises to ease the burden on families.
Water is life. Everyone needs and deserves access to it — regardless of income, race or place." #mileg #WaterAffordability

Last week, I introduced SB 1127-28, which would enable more expectant parents to receive prenatal care in a group-based setting, such as through birth classes through CenteringPregnancy.
Pregnancy is exciting but can come with challenges that people shouldn’t have to go through alone. Childbirth classes offer a critical service to moms-to-be and birthing people, allowing them to connect, build relationships, learn together, and find support in others who are experiencing the same things at the same time. This group-based model of care has been shown to lead to incredible health outcomes for both the parent and baby and the reduction of racial disparities in preterm birth. I’m incredibly proud to sponsor this legislation, which would allow more Michigan residents to get the patient-centered healthcare they need in a setting that works best for them.

Check out this great op-ed by Detroit Police Interim Chief Todd Bettison on the police improvement and community trust bill package and how it builds on the existing work of police agencies.
"Once [the bill package is] adopted, Michigan agencies will see the same benefits that Detroit has seen in augmented trust and confidence within their communities, stronger levels of uniformity and cohesion with their rank and files, greater deference to transparency and overall increases in morale. But the greatest benefit, as every agency will see, is the knowledge that the reputation of their agencies and officers will be heavily guarded through conformance to statewide standards established by our elected representatives for the benefit of Michigan residents." #mileg
