State Rep. Darrin Camilleri is calling for changes to how the Michigan Legislature meets after sessions were canceled this week over credible threats.
"I'm thankful that we have the Michigan State Police, the National Guard, and Capitol Commission take some steps to make sure that we are kept safe, but I want to make sure we can do more to make sure we can continue working on behalf of the people," he said.
He said some steps could include increasing the security at the Capitol itself or allowing lawmakers to work remotely.
"We can still work on legislation, fix our unemployment system, do more to fix our roads, address COVID, get more vaccinations out there, but we can't do that every time we're shut down because of this violence," he added.
