Lansing Residents Share Their Concerns, Priorities at Love Lansing Social Hour
I had the honor of being one of state Rep. Sarah Anthony’s special guests at her Love Lansing Constituent Social Hour on Monday night. Rep. Anthony, Rep.-elect Emily Dievendorf and I sat down to hear directly from Lansing residents about the biggest needs in our community and what they want us to accomplish next term. Thank you to everyone who came out last night.

Last week, the two-mile stretch of Interstate 496 in Lansing reopened after five months of construction. Exit ramps that are still closed will remain closed until mid-December. The Capitol Avenue bridge will remain closed through the winter.
