📰 News we're reading
• Legislators to consider statewide retirement savings program (candgnews.com) — State Rep. Mike McFall of Hazel Park is co-sponsoring a bipartisan plan to create MI Secure Retirement, a statewide savings program workers could join through payroll deductions, even if their employer offers no retirement plan. The proposal aims to close Michigan’s retirement savings gap, help small businesses compete for talent at no added cost, and potentially reduce long-term taxpayer spending on public assistance.
