Michigan ranks dead last among all 50 states in financial support to municipalities. Worse yet, we’re the ONLY state in the nation to have CUT revenue sharing. Since 2002 the @CityofWalkerMI alone has lost $8M+ find out more & what you can do to help @SaveMICity #michdems #migop – at Walker, MI

All important, but these initiatives can’t succeed w/out including #LocalGov in the equation. Cities must be prioritized too! Time is now. #RestoreRevenueSharing #SaveMiCity #CapCon19 @MMLeague

Glad to have @GovWhitmer at #CapCon19 to talk about building a Road to Opportunity in Michigan. She’s always been an invaluable ally to our communities and we need her bold leadership more than ever today. @MMLeague @SaveMICity
