Whether it's hiking the dunes, paddling our rivers or just walking a trail close to home, these experiences define what it is to be a Michigander. I voted for House Bill 4392 to enhance quality of life for local residents, promote tourism, increase property values and create jobs in planning, construction and long-term maintenance in every corner of the state — rural and urban, north and south.
