Rep. Steve Frisbie holds a copy of HR 62, which designates April as National County Government Month in Michigan.

A legislative resolution sponsored by MAC was among activities in April to mark National County Government Month.

Rep. Steve Frisbie, a former Calhoun County commissioner now serving his first term in the Michigan House of Representatives, sponsored a resolution (HR 62) on MAC’s behalf to recognize the annual event, which started in 1991. The resolution was adopted by the House on April 17.

“It was Tocqueville who said that the strength of a free people resides in the local community,” said Frisbie. “As a county commissioner for 14 years, I worked up close with fellow county governments to meet the needs of our residents. Whether it’s administering justice through the courts, helping to care for children, or assisting in disaster relief, county governments play a crucial role in the delivery of key services, and I am proud to introduce this resolution.”
