Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and three state representatives visited Department of State offices in Saginaw and Flint and spoke with staff and residents about the department s new efficient and convenient services. Benson was joined by Rep. Amos O Neal (D-Saginaw) in Saginaw and Reps. John Cherry (D-Flint) and Cynthia Neeley (D-Flint) in Flint.
As the visits occurred, the department also opened up thousands of additional opportunities for in-person service, as residents can now schedule visits during expanded office hours that start next week.
Legislators in the city of Flint and across the state are saying no more, proposing bills to penalize and reduce drive-by shootings.
Several drive-by shootings in mid-Michigan and across the state have claimed the lives of several young victims this year, and lawmakers are acting in the hope of preventing future violence.
The legislation was inspired in part by the tragic death of a three-year-old boy in Flint who died in October.
âWe have had so many drive by shootings and we have lost so many young victims,â Representative Cynthia Neeley said. âWe are working hard at the Michigan legislature to make sure Michigan families are safe.â
