www.petersenoil.com Rep. Calley: No explanation for certain small business closures creates heartbreak for struggling workers, owners

Legislator reacts to emotional COVID-19 select committee testimony State Rep. Julie Calley, a member of the Joint Select Committee on the COVID-19 Pandemic, today said she is deeply concerned with the inconsistencies of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s ongoing executive orders that have left people throughout Michigan unable to make a living.

Owners and operators of ice rinks, bowling alleys, fitness centers, dance studios and special event centers spoke to the committee about the financial hardship they have encountered because of Gov. Whitmer’s decisions – as some people enter their sixth month without work and other states open their economies in those sectors.

“Even within Michigan, there are two regions that opened these industries and there have been no noted outbreaks attributable to those reopened businesses,” said Calley, of Portland. “But our committee has heard from several people who are going through very difficult times and are worried about losing their life’s work entirely if there isn’t a plan to open their businesses in their respective regions. By not providing them with a when or why, Governor Whitmer is discouraging both small businesses owners and employees – who are such a vital part of our state and local economies.

“There is no data out there to support the idea that a bowling alley can be open safely in one place, but 20 minutes away – across the line into another arbitrarily designated region – a bowling alley can’t be.”

Many small businesses who spoke before the committee, both today and in past hearings, have formulated plans to reopen safely and responsibly using science and the latest data from both Michigan and other states. They featured sanitation and safety plans made through consultation with local health officials and often designed through workgroups at Gov. Whitmer’s direction.

But the small business owners say too often that they have not received sufficient communication from the governor’s office about these plans, or when they will be allowed to reopen.

“These local business owners have come before our committee because they need to be heard. They are desperate.

They are running through their savings and 401(k)s and have no other options,” Calley said.

“Our committee will continue to give them a forum to share their experiences, and I hope Gov. Whitmer’s administration will listen and readdress her unfair and inconsistent directives.”

Portland District Libary Lines

If you had told me at the beginning of 2020 that we were going to be dealing with pandemics and quarantine and social distancing this far into the year, I would not have believed you. And yet, here we are. This is such a new experience for all of us, and we at the library have been doing our best to balance safety with our desire to provide a quality experience. We cannot thank all of you enough for your flexibility and support as we work through each issue and opportunity as it arises. Now that we’ve gotten into the swing of things, we are going to start incorporating some of our most beloved services back into our daily routine.

Melcat loaning has already been reinstated, and beginning September 12, we will once again be open from 9:00 a.m.

– 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays. As we’ve learned, our plans can change from day to day, but we can at least try Saturday hours again. With Saturday hours coming back and kids heading off to school, I did want to take just a moment to remind you that the library is set up for social distancing—no toys, very few chairs, reduced computer time, and more.

We respectfully ask that you not linger after your business with us is done. Remember . . . we welcome browsing, but discourage people from camping out.

Speaking of quarantine, it would appear that everyone in Portland used their time at home to organize their bookcases, because we have a ton of great donations stacked up behind the desk. We’ll do our best to regularly replenish the book sale room, so stop by often to check out our new offerings. And I’ll be sure to share any special tips . .

. like the fact that there’s an overabundance of children’s DVDs right now, if you were in the market to refresh your home library.
