We as storm restoration contractor's lose thousands of dollars every year. Homeowners sign into a contract to have work performed which then we finance their job until the insurance company pays the rcv amount when the repairs are completed . Homeowner receives check and some forget to turn the check over to contractor. Act 24 is a new law that went into affect January 1, 2014 which protects the insurance company ! Example: Contractor starts repairs the insurance company missed 2nd layer of shingles. Contractor supplements insurance company for additional funds. Insurance company denies the funds the homeowner then can cancel within 3 days and be refunded their money. Even if the repairs are done. Another example Act 24 does not allow the contractor to talk policy nor pricing with the insured or the insurance company ! Most homeowners do not understand how the claim process works. We are honest people here making a living for our families and the insurance companies are making us out to be bad people. Wtmj Am 620 had a show last week on this Act 24 and what a show it was! Let's get this law revised and protect the contractor , insured and the insurance company !

We have had enough of the Koch brothers' influence in our daily lives. Our democracy is not for sale. Stop the Koch brothers' industries from polluting our environment. Stop the Koch brothers' backward ideology from infiltrating the minds of our young college students. Get the Koch brothers' money out of our politicians'pockets!

To point out the hypocrisy and the disconnectedness of the U.S. Supreme Court.

We really need to get out the vote

I'm a single working mother on a very limited income. I like to shop at Costco because they treat their employees well, carry many organic products, and have good prices. However, I am very disturbed to find out that my money is supporting the Koch brothers through items such as Dixie cups and plates. I don't want a dime of my money to go to any company they own or in which they have stock options. Please help cut off the supply that feeds those greedy, prejudiced, corrupt brothers.

Educators are the most critical partners with parents in developing solid citizens who contribute to the strength and well-being of the State. It is unconscionable that they should not have the same access to health insurance provided other state employees. The attempt to even further restrict access to meaningful health care is a statement that they are devalued; yet, we all know -at least those who use public education- the importance of their contribution to our children and our state.

To educate and hold accountable elected officials concerning Native treaty rights.

Our goal is to make nutrition healthier for kids beyond the issues of obesity and school lunches and to expand into the hospital setting. We have firsthand experience with the food in hospitals as we have been in and out with our 11 year old son who has been recently diagnosed with lymphoma. We would like Michigan to be a role model for other states and take this issue across the country!

Gun violence is a result of the wrong people owning guns or of people without proper training and regard for weapons owning them. Making it a requirement of gun ownership to belong to a well regulated militia, as mentioned in the Second Amendment, would provide a means to ensure that neither of the above conditions occur.

Because it is time to remind people: Education is a right, corporate subsidies are not.

My children have been affected by older children, too old to be in a baby pool, being splashed, pushed, and scared to enter the water due to older children running into the baby pool section, without regard for the younger children and babies. This has not just happened to me, but to many other parents' children, and no lifeguards have seemed to care to do anything about any of these issues.

I would like the city to limit the Tree Ordinance to public property until a vote/more debate can be had about private property trees. There is concern that this ordinance was misrepresented and/or misunderstood.
