As we begin the countdown to the end of this year and the beginning of another... this scripture dropped in my spirit, "... Brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:8 Negativity should not rule the day, because there are so many more things to be grateful for than not. Please try to remember... where there is breath, there is hope. Love and blessings to all of you! Steph/Elder Steph/Rep Steph 🙏🏾🥰🫶🏾

Thank you Mary Cavanagh for your dedication and leadership.

I testified before the House Criminal Justice Committee as they voted out my bill, HB 5698, that requires the Department of Corrections to screen inmates within 7 days after entering a correctional facility and put together a pre-release plan before they are released.
The bill was brought to me by my friend, the Founder and Director of Silent Cry Inc., Shawanna Vaughn. The mental health of those who are formerly and currently incarcerated is severely tested.

I’m proud to stand with my colleagues to advance our police accountability package through committee. These bills work to ensure fairness and safer communities for all Michiganders.

Safer communities? How does this help with the illegal migrant problem in Michigan? We have Venezuelan gangs robbing homes everywhere. Our state government hasn’t said a word.
We must work together to end human trafficking. I proudly voted for legislation that puts predators behind bars and gives survivors a second chance at life.

I testified before the Committee on Families, Children and Seniors in support of my Tobacco Free Kids legislation, of which I am the lead bill sponsor in the House. The package seeks to decriminalize youth for purchasing, using and possessing tobacco/nicotine products; requiring tobacco retailers to be licensed just like liquor retailers; and preventing the sale of highly addictive flavored tobacco/nicotine products.
I was joined by Youth Advocate Michael Smith, who testified that menthol, candy flavored and other flavored tobacco/nicotine products, especially vapes, makes it easy to start smoking, but extremely difficult to quit.

You have all my respect Rep. Young. But are you fully informed? CDC surveys show teen nicotine vaping dropped 70% over the past five years to a 10-year low. They also show 17.2 million American ADULTS use this gizmos now, and almost all of them use 'flavored' vapes. Prohibiting 'flavors' will put millions of Michigan adults at risk of relapsing to deadly cigarettes that KILL 50% of all users. This may be unwise, comparable to denying penicillin to 400 men who had syphilis from 1947-1972. Prohibitions ALWAYS have unintended consequences. I don't think anyone has fully thought this through. FYI: I'm a Michigander. U of M grad. Taught Healthcare Ethics to med students at Howard University for several years. Ask your staff to #FactCheck the numbers in this graph. They are correct. On request, I would be happy to share links to the CDC website where these surveys live. I don't make this stuff up. EVERYTHING in this graph is good news for public health. I am disgusted that this situation is being portrayed, incorrectly, as a public health "crisis."
Love is definitely the work
Nice!
