State Senator Michael Switalski (D-Roseville) will hold several town hall meetings for residents of Clinton Township, Roseville, Sterling Heights and Utica to discuss the budget agreement and tax increases signed into law on Monday. The public and media are welcome to attend this open forum and to provide feedback and commentary.

"I look forward to the opportunity to hear from my constituents and to explain my reasoning behind the budget agreement," said Switalski. "It represents a solid comprehensive agreement that does not rely on one-time fixes in addressing the state's structural deficit and is a careful balance between legitimate cuts, significant government reforms and new revenues."

For more information, please contact Senator Switalski's office at (586) 774-2430 or (517) 373-7315.
