Michigan state Rep. Beau LaFave (R) urged Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) to call National Guardsmen home on Friday.
The chairman of the House Committee on Military, Veterans & Homeland Security wrote:
The National Guard can be tasked with ensuring a peaceful transition of power. An unprecedented number of troops were sent to Washington, even more service members than are currently stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. You all did a tremendous job, and we are very proud of the job you did. But the way you have been treated in D.C. is simply unacceptable. You don’t deserve to be resting on concrete or marble floors. You were sent to ensure the violent rioting that happened in 2017 when Trump was inaugurated wasn’t replicated on January 20th, 2021 with President Biden’s ceremony. Mission accomplished.

DEARBORN, Mich. – Michigan state Representative Abdullah Hammoud says he has tested positive for the coronavirus.
On Jan. 8, Rep. Hammoud released a statement saying he has tested positive for COVID-19, but he is feeling well.
Today, I tested positive for COVID-19. Thankfully, I am feeling well and recovering at home. In the interim, my team and I will continue to work remotely.

HOLLAND (WTHC-AM/FM) Zeeland-based U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, co-chair of the U.S. House Great Lakes Task Force, emailed a statement responding to the EPA’s news of the completion of a $6.6 million Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Project in Muskegon and a $2.9 million project on the Detroit Riverwalk.
The Ryerson Creek Outfall is a 12-acre site along Muskegon Lake’s shoreline that has been contaminated with petroleum, metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This GLRI funded project dredged 10,600 cubic yards of contaminated sediment, removing more than 2,000 tons of mill debris, and covered a two-acre area with clean sand.
