During these tough economic times, there is no one I would trust more to by my state senator than David LaGrand. David has been an advocate for our area and has been at the forefront of major revitalization efforts in the city for many years, one of which helped to change my neighborhood. Eight years ago, Wealthy Street was very different from what is is today. That change, in large part, is due to the success of LaGrand’s Wealthy Street Bakery.
Recently, I heard David talk about the role small-business owners must play in our state – the need to make an entrepreneurial shift; I could not agree more. As a small-business owner myself, I know how disastrous the Michigan Business Tax has been. LaGrand’s opponent, State Representative Dave Hildenbrand, voted for the MBT surcharge he now calls a “job killer.”
Only through the foresight and innovative, businesslike ideas of leaders such as David LaGrand will we see prosperity in Michigan again.
