Wtf do you know about farming and agriculture??? You all are NEVER HAPPY!!!

What would you suggest as a preventative measure for forthcoming CA fires?

I'm glad to announce that I am again appointed to serve on our State House Agriculture Committee, as Minority Vice Chair. I love this committee because agriculture addresses so many issues from food and agriculture to labor and housing, and because agriculture is the second largest industry in Michigan behind the auto industry. I was also appointed as a member of the Finance Committee and look forward to serving my constituents with new knowledge and updated legislation. I had requested to serve on the Oversight Committee for Homeland Security, but was not appointed (alas, the Speaker has final say on the appointments; however, I'll be following this committee and related issues). ...

I am so proud of you.Veronica Paiz, MI State Representative . Hope to see you soon.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! I’m so proud of you!

Michigan will be hit hard agriculturally by President Trump's thoughtless and spiteful tariffs on Canada and Mexico which have forced them to retaliate in kind. I expect there will be a shortage of some groceries and an increase in costs, as well as an increase in unemployment. As a member of the Michigan House Agriculture Committee, I hope to learn details that I can share with you in the coming weeks.Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Director Tim Boring released the following statement in response to tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico and China: bit.ly/42EortR ...

The President Trump administration's decision to release a memo “freezing” thousands of federal programs is a clear indication of a rash and poorly thought-out policy action. This decision has far-reaching implications, as it halts federal funds that had already been allocated to critical programs. The abrupt nature of this freeze has created widespread confusion and uncertainty, leaving individuals and organizations scrambling to understand the consequences.

Since the announcement, my and colleagues' offices have been flooded with questions from concerned constituents, non-profit leaders, and local government officials; they are expressing their fears and seeking clarity on what this freeze means for their communities, their organizations, and their ability to serve those in need. Their concerns are entirely reasonable, given the disruption to services and operations thus far.

The President's poorly (or spitefully) thought-out memo is just another example of the disconnect between his administration and the real people (his and my constituents) who are impacted by these federal programs.

As more information is released, I will continue to update you all, including the steps being taken to address the concerns of our communities. My priority is to ensure that you are informed and supported during this time of uncertainty, and I will remain committed to advocating for the programs and resources that many people and organizations depend on.

You are welcome to contact my office with your questions and comments: veronicapaiz@house.mi.gov and 517-373-0857.

I appreciate your outrage and look for your guidance. But I have to ask why our nation has become so entangled and reliant with the federal government.

Omg calm down Gladys!!!

Beverly Ann I see the U.S. as "all for one and one for all". I know that may sound simplistic, but each state joined our nation for the enrichment and assistance we could provide and receive as one large family (of sorts). There really is no way each state alone could provide all the necessary services its residents need -- for infrastructure, healthcare, childcare, education, food, etc. (Short answer to a big question, but I hope this helps in understanding my view.)

On Friday, I attended the event Reducing Hunger, Building Climate Leadership: The Future of Food Rescue in Michigan hosted by Forgotten Harvest — the largest food rescue organization in Michigan. “Food is the single largest category of waste in municipal waste streams. At the same time, more than 55 million people in the United States sought help from a food bank last year and the number of ‘food insecure’ people, those who don’t have enough food or enough high-quality, nutritious food, is even greater.” There’s no good reason people should go hungry. It’s encouraging to know there are people and businesses who are working to end food waste and to ensure the people of Michigan don’t go hungry. (I’m pictured here with @staterepmcfall and Rep. Jason Hoskins, and other attendees.) ... See MoreSee Less
