WASHINGTON – U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller (MI-10) today made the following statement on earmarks for the fiscal year 2011:
“Spending in Washington has gotten completely out of control. In fiscal year 2009 the federal government ran a budget deficit of over $1.4 trillion and the projected deficit for this budget year is over $1.6 trillion. In just the last year, the federal debt ceiling has been raised by $3 trillion.

Lund: Lawmaker inaction ‘unacceptable’
State Rep. Pete Lund
With a bill to speed up the state’s permit process and speed job creation languishing in a House committee for nearly a year, GOP lawmakers today forced House Democrats to move the legislation out of committee for a vote by the full House of Representatives.

GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan — Two area lawmakers are part of state Senate Democratic push to establish a state-run bank they believe would make it easier for individuals and small businesses to borrow money.
