Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association Issues Statement in Response to Governor Whitmer’s Proposed $15M Budget for Pure Michigan in 2021
“We find it difficult to have a discussion about the specifics of potential funding for Pure Michigan in 2021 when the tourism and hospitality industries are still coping with the unjustifiable elimination of Pure Michigan funding this year—an action that puts in jeopardy the livelihood of 200,000 Michiganders working in the hospitality industry,” said Justin Winslow, President and CEO of the Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association. “We are willing and ready to be part of the solution going forward, but the time for political theater is over. Fix the mistake, restore Pure Michigan, and let’s move forward together for the best interests of our state and residents.”
