-Protect communities from job losses with Workers Right to Own legislation, giving employees the first right of refusal if the owners sell. This would allow workers to purchase the businesses they work at with state backed loans and use their unemployment savings as collateral rather than allowing businesses to sell to competitors and be shut down,or to ship the business offshore for cheaper labor.
-State funding to for research on pumped-hydroelectric storage using the abandoned mining properties in order to expand the research being done by Michigan Tech in the Negaunee Mine to the 110th district and the rest of northern Michigan. This could make northern Michigan the source of storage for renewable energy throughout the region reducing our reliance on disreputable cobalt and lithium suppliers.
