STATE GOVERNMENT
Dear Readers,
Thank you for reading my editorial.
community. I was most certainly glad to vote in favor of these funds that will be used to further develop and expand the Albion River Trail. Now communi- ty members have even more reason to enjoy this beautiful outdoor space. It’s a perfect spot for a walk or a bike ride while taking in the splendid scenery and fresh air.
My goal with these is to inform you on what is going on in the state govern- ment and hopefully improve how the state government works for you.
The Michigan Legislature has been hard at work since January. My office has been receiving calls encouraging
us to repeal the retirement tax, and I’m proud to announce that its repeal was one of the first bills that Gov. Whitmer signed into law this session. House Bill 4001, Public Act 4 of 2023, implements a tax deduction for retirees. The bill also expands the working families tax credit from 6% to 30% of the federal benefit. The working families tax cred- it, also known as the Earned Income Tax Credit, supports working, low-in- come families.
There are other exciting investments in the city of Albion in recent months. The state also intends to invest funds into refurbishing McIntosh Park, and over three million dollars was approved to rehabilitate several housing units in downtown Albion.
The House of Representatives recently passed HB 4238. This bill con- tains investments in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund capital outlay projects. There are 15 land acquisition projects funded at $15 million and 30 land development projects totaling
$8.3 million, including $300,000 for
an expansion to the Albion River Trail. This is very exciting news for our
It is important to stay involved and updated on what is happening in state government. To keep up to date, you can visit my website at RepHaadsma. com or follow me on Facebook @ HouseJimH. If you have any questions, comments or concerns or need help navigating a state government program, please reach out to me. You can email me at jimhaadsma@house.mi.gov or call my office at (517) 373-2616.
On the first Saturday of each month, I host open coffee hours at Mr. Don's in Springfield from 9-11am and at Stirling Books and Brew in Albion from 1-2:30pm.
~ Respectfully, Jim Haadsma

Devices work across Michigan and beyond. Nearly 150 individuals have been returned home safely, and counting...
