A Michigan Representative Speaks About EB Termination

Here is a note from Phil Cavanagh regarding the situation for Michigan’s impending EB termination.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts regarding extended unemployment benefits.  I am very familiar with the issue, and agree that we should make the changes necessary to continue receiving federal dollars for extended unemployment benefits.  Last week, Representative Barb Byrum (D-Onondaga) attempted to enact this fix, but her amendment was struck down by Republican House Leadership.  At this time, Speaker Bolger has indicated he is undecided on the issue.  I would strongly encourage you to contact his office and voice your support for the extension.  Contact information for the Speaker can be found at the following website: http://house.mi.gov/leadership.asp.

Thanks again for taking the time to get in touch.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Sincerely,

Phil Cavanagh

State Representative

District 17

Regardless of the District 17 impression for the EB termination, you should take the time to contact your representative, and go a step further and contact the leadership at Mr. Cavanagh states above.

Read about how to fill out the form it only takes 2 minutes or so, and is very painless.
