January 24, 2024 - We have a favor to ask. If you’re watching Michigan Governor Whitmer’s State of the State address on Wednesday, January 24th at 7pm. Please use Facebook and X (Twitter) and post about the need for $8 million in the coming budget for e-bike purchase incentives during the event. For X, make sure you include the Governor’s account, @govwhitmer and the tag #MISOTS2024.
If you want to do more, the NRDC (National Resources Defence Council) has an online petition that asks the Governor “to prioritize clean energy, affordable housing, and healthier communities in her next budget request”. We got that $8 million e-bike request included among the other budget requests for public transit, EVs and more. $8 million would give Michigan an e-bike purchase incentive program similar to other states.
