“Our retired corrections officers spent their entire professional careers enduring one of the most grueling positions in government,” said Bohnak, R-Deerton. “The least we can do is let them keep all of their hard-earned pensions.

“I’m glad the governor is continuing to reach across the aisle and work with Republicans to tackle the issues that matter most to Michigan residents. People in the Upper Peninsula are tired of divisive policies and political showmanship, and it looks like the governor is tired of it too. If House Republicans can partner with the governor and Senate Democrats to save our tipped workers and small businesses, I’m confident we can continue those bipartisan negotiations into discussions on roads and energy.”
