I'd like to thank all who participated in my community survey. With well over 1100 individuals responding, my staff and I have reviewed and tallied the many issues important to you. The survey results have been posted below for your review.
As your Senator, your views are extremely valuable to me as we in the legislature consider public policy and legislation. Your email, letters, phone calls and other means of communication such as this survey help me understand what is important to you and help me better represent you in Lansing.
Thank you again for participating.
