Forty First District State Representative Martin Howrylak has introduced a new bill to get the Brass Roots Plaque displayed in it’s rightful home on the grounds of the State Capital Building. You may Contact your State Representative and ask him or her to cosponsor or support HB 4240 at: house.mi.gov … and you may also encourage your state senator to introduce or support a Senate version of HB 4240 at: senate.mi.gov However, the most immediate action that must be made is to move this bill out of committee.  To do that there needs to be a committee hearing.  Bradford Jacobsen is the Chair of the Government Operations Committee. So it is urgent that he schedules a hearing. Please contact anyone you know who may be in the 46th State Representative District, and ask them to call Representative Jacobsen at 517-373-1798 ( 855-737-2723 toll free) or email him using at: BradJacobsen@house.mi.gov

Other Committee Members Must Be Contacted Too! If you are in any of these districts please contact your representative and urge him or her to have a committee hearing for this bill.  If you know anyone in one of these districts, urge your friend to do likewise.
