Rep. Roth welcomes area sheriffs to 9-11 Memorial Ceremony

RELEASE|September 11, 2024

Contact: John Roth

State Rep. John Roth today attended the Michigan House of Representatives annual 9-11 Memorial Ceremony on the Capitol lawn.

The ceremony includes the ringing of a fire bell in memory of first responders and public safety officers who died honorably in the line of duty throughout Michigan in the past year.

During this annual tradition, legislators invite first responders and members of the military from their communities to be their guests for the service. Roth was joined by Manistee County Sheriff Brian Gutowski, Benzie County Sheriff Kyle Rosa and Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea.

“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.”

Rep. Roth: Tipped wage workers want to keep their jobs for Christmas

“Legislative Democrats are reaching a point where their level of greed and complete disregard for the Christmas season would put the Grinch to shame,” said Roth, R-Interlochen. “Our tipped workers have stood outside our chambers and pleaded with us for help. Yet, Democrats in charge are more focused on giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants and letting dangerous convicts out of jail. The grinch may have stolen Christmas, but Democrats are going to steal a lot more from tipped wage workers if we don’t act.”

“Corrections officers make daily sacrifices the rest of us couldn’t even imagine; between going toe to toe with dangerous criminals and spending days on end away from family, these folks have earned benefits they can count on when they decide to retire,” said Roth, R-Interlochen. “These would be high-stress jobs if our prisons were fully staffed, but because of these devastating shortages, MDOC is stretching the few officers we have left to the breaking point. This plan requires immediate attention so we can finally start securing the help our corrections officers desperately need.”

“This isn’t about forcing people to work, this is about encouraging folks to explore opportunities that will equip them with the skills they need to live fruitful lives free of government intervention,” said Roth, R-Interlochen. “We want every man, woman, and child to have access to the resources they need to be healthy and happy. But we also want those families to have a clear path to rise above their economic station and leave state assistance behind. I believe people are capable of more than just cashing a government check.”
