[nfbmi-talk] News Release - MCB to Hold Public Meetings in Grand Rapids, Escanaba, and Detroit on Draft State Plan

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi,

The meetings are from 2 'til 6.  I want to research the requirements of RSA
for this process.  It seems that the Board needs to be included in this
process.

Warmest Regards,

Fred
