“It was an honor to welcome our local sheriffs to attend today’s memorial ceremony,” Roth said. “We can never say enough to thank our public safety officers and first responders who keep us safe every day. September 11 is a fitting time for this ceremony, while we reflect on and solemnly appreciate the many heroes who responded to the attacks 23 years ago today.”

“This ruling just started the countdown on a ticking time bomb within our restaurant industry,” said Roth, R-Interlochen. “Lawmakers have until February to take action and ensure that thousands of Michigan restaurant employees and businesses won’t suffer because of this decision. We must return to work now. This is bigger than elections. We’re talking about people’s livelihoods. If these changes are allowed to stand, locally owned restaurants we’ve been bringing our families to for generations will close their doors forever. We can’t let that happen.”
