I come with thanks and gratitude from law enforcement, firefighters, EMS workers, hospital emergency room workers, all across the great State of Michigan. I have held six different community meetings around Michigan in the last month asking our local first responders how they are doing, what do they need, do they feel prepared, what can we do to be of assistance. I have scheduled three more meetings in Michigan to listen, and I am hearing the same thing over and over again, and that is our first responders, our firefighters and police officers on the front line, emergency personnel, health departments, local emergency rooms, desperately need us to partner with them to give them the resources they need to take the necessary steps to be prepared in the case of terrorism in their communities.
