“It was an honor to welcome Fruitport Public Safety Director Brian Michelli to attend today’s memorial ceremony,” Meerman said. “We can never say enough to thank our public safety officers and first responders who keep us safe every day. The week of September 11 is a fitting time for this ceremony, as we continue to remember and honor the heroes who responded to the tragic terrorist attacks in 2001.”

“Activist justices on the Michigan Supreme Court have crossed the line and are legislating from the bench,” Meerman said. “Today’s ruling will have massive consequences on small businesses in West Michigan that will result in layoffs and could lead to the closure of small family-owned businesses.”
