Michigan may raise its minimum wage to $15/hour by 2028 but keep tipped wages under a bipartisan plan debuted in the state House this month. Conversations on what to do about state sick leave law remain ongoing. www.bridgemi.com/michigan-gov...

Finally made the jump over to BlueSky, though will still be posting regularly on Twitter. As always, you can reach me for any comments/questions/concerns at jhermani@bridgemi.com. And while my focus is on Michigan politics, pet photos wouldn't go unappreciated, either. 😉
