Dear Haytham,
It’s not every day that you have an opportunity to thank a politician for standing up for what’s right. Last week, the Michigan House of Representatives voted on Senate Concurrent Resolution 9 (SCR 9), a legislative measure to prevent state employees from adding one non-related adult to their health benefits. Thank Rep. Darany for voting against SCR 9 and standing up for all Michigan families. In late January, the Michigan Civil Service Commission and Michigan unions approved a collective bargaining agreement that allows state employees to add an unmarried partner to their health care plan. We believe SCR 9 sets a dangerous precedent. Our legislators should not be allowed to disrupt the separation of powers that are protected by our state Constitution. The decision to extend health benefits is not only lawful, but it’s the right decision for families. Our state is stronger when everyone has access to health insurance coverage. Tell Rep. George T. Darany you agree and support the efforts to stop this abuse of power. If we’re going to truly work to move Michigan forward, we cannot afford to take this significant step backwards. Sincerely, |
We’re all American
