1/22/11 - A local legislator’s focus on Michigan’s agriculture sector has landed her a position in Lansing to deal with the issue. State Representative Cindy Denby was recently selected to chair the Agricultural Processing Subcommittee. The Handy Township Republican, who already serves as vice-chair of the full House Agriculture Committee, says the subcommittee was created to remove unnecessary regulations that keep agricultural processing from being done in Michigan. Denby says additional agricultural processing will bring more employment opportunities to Michigan's skilled workers and further Michigan's economy. (JM)
