Veterans from the U.P. should be able to be laid to rest in the place they proudly called home,” said Prestin, R-Cedar River. “For too long, the surviving families of veterans have had to travel long distances to honor their loved ones. This plan would bring that opportunity closer to home, allowing families to maintain a stronger connection with those who sacrificed to defend our freedoms.”

“Michigan’s commercial fishing is a founding industry of our state,” said Prestin, R-Cedar River.
“Over the years, Michigan has become less reliant on our own commercial fishermen as people from other states and Canada continue to harvest lake trout, walleye, and yellow perch on the Great Lakes, while fishermen in Michigan are prohibited. We must address statewide overregulation before there are no commercial fishermen left.”
