A new Gallop poll shows Americans are beginning to reject Dear Leader Trump on a host of issues, including his top issue of Immigration. Ryan Cooper of The American Prospect gives reasonings as to why Americans are no longer supporting his anti-Constitutional immigration disappearance program, but also why Latino-American voters are rejecting him even though many voted for him just five months ago. And this is why Democrats should've never ceded ground on immigration rather than choosing Trump-Lite on the issue. It didn't solve the issue, nor did it give them extra votes. Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Trump scores better marks with the public on immigration than the economy."

It's officially construction cone season in Michigan.  The Governor says a bipartisan road funding deal will soon be reached. But the state Senate has some budget concerns, wanting to avoid "one time gimmicks" when it comes to bankrolling infrastructure.  MIRS sits down with Matthew Resch, the president of Lansing-based Resch Strategies, and Brad Williams of the Detroit Regional Chamber to hear their thoughts on the developing policy debate (6:08).  Also, should physician assistants in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Tennessee be able to practice in Michigan through a shared licensure network, without paying the state's separate fees? Thadd Gormas of the Michigan Academy of Physician Associates explains why his group wants the state to enter the PA Licensure Compact (28:17).

Michigan State University's faculty passed a resolution calling for MSU to join a new "mutual defense compact" with other Big Ten schools to help fight back against the Trump Regime's constant attacks on higher education in Michigan, and the country. The Trump Regime is working to defund colleges and universities so it can force these higher education institutions to instill their warped and weird White Christian Nationalist propaganda.  It was all right there for us to read in Project 2025.

[the direct impact these investments will have on Michigan workers and employers—including $19 million for Registered Apprenticeships, $40.4 million to support students with disabilities and $7.5 million to help workers overcome employment barriers.] Please share about Michigan's first-ever Statewide Workforce Plan? [ a strategy to fuel economic growth and create more opportunities for job seekers across the state.] If there's any more, discuss how these workforce initiatives align with the state's broader strategy to building a stronger middle class and help businesses grow? What would the real impact of these programs in action be? State officials and Lansing area leaders discuss how Gov. Whitmer's proposed FY26 budget will strengthen job training, apprenticeship programs and employment services. LANSING, Mich.— The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) joined local community members, business leaders and stakeholders to discuss Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's FY26 budget recommendations. The roundtable event, which was held Thursday at Capital Area Michigan Works!, focused on Registered Apprenticeships, Pre-Employment Transition Services and Barrier Removal and Employment Success – all programs aligned with the goals of Michigan's first-ever Statewide Workforce Plan to expand career opportunities, strengthen Michigan's workforce, and support employers. “Successful businesses and good-paying jobs strengthen our families and local communities,” said LEO Director Susan Corbin. “Governor Whitmer and LEO are investing in employment and training to equip workers with in-demand skills and businesses with the talent they need to thrive, creating more opportunities for Michiganders and a stronger economy.” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer recently released her seventh executive budget recommendation that will lower costs, power economic development, and build a brighter future to ensure any person or business can “Make It” in Michigan. The proposed budget includes $19 million to expand access to Registered Apprenticeships, $40.4 million (including a $8.4 million general fund investment to secure $32 million in matching federal funds) for Pre-Employment Transition Support and other vocational rehabilitation services for students with disabilities, and $7.5 million to remove barriers to work. "The stories shared by our local partners and employers highlight the real impact of these investments," said Stephanie Beckhorn, Director of LEO's Office of Employment and Training. "Governor Whitmer's budget recommendations will strengthen workforce development efforts across the state, expanding access to training, Registered Apprenticeships and employment services that empower Michiganders to secure good-paying jobs and build successful careers." Michigan provides employment services to more participants than any other state in the Midwest, is ranked #3 in the nation for helping adults get employed and is #4 in the nation for the number of active Registered Apprentices. LEO's Employment and Training programs are building a stronger Michigan by connecting job seekers to careers and helping businesses grow with the skilled talent they need. Through innovative programs, partnerships and targeted support services, LEO empowers individuals to gain in-demand skills while breaking down barriers to employment. These efforts fuel economic opportunity, ensuring Michigan's workforce is ready for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

[Kim Bode / 8ThirtyFour Integrated Communications' spotlight, participant in SBAM's Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship] Chris Holman welcomes back Jane Mitchell, MAS, CEO/Owner Jungle Jane Promotions, Lansing, MI. This is the fifth of five interviews in a series. There were several questions Chris wanted to find out from Jane: ● What makes your business unique? ● What are the biggest things you've learned as a woman business owner? ● What have been some successes/challenges you've faced in your business? ● Speak about being part of the Inaugural Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship Small Business Association of Michigan Foundation Announces Inaugural Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship New Program Addresses Multiple Challenges for Second-Stage, Women-Owned Businesses LANSING, Mich. – The SBAM Foundation (SBAMF), supported by its parent organization, the Small Business Association of Michigan, has launched its Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) program and chosen 11 businesses for the first cohort. The eight-month initiative will equip these second-stage, women-owned businesses with resources to overcome diverse challenges and scale their operations. Women-owned businesses are a vital part of Michigan's economy, representing 43.2% of the state's 902,131 small businesses—higher than the national average. Detroit, in particular, was ranked as the top U.S. metropolitan area for growth in women-owned businesses. “The launch of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship is an exciting step toward ensuring that second-stage, women-owned businesses receive the targeted support they need to thrive, said Brian Calley, SBAM President & CEO. “This program will provide invaluable resources, from mentorship and business certifications to networking opportunities and access to capital, helping these entrepreneurs overcome the unique challenges they face.” Qualifying businesses have more than one employee in addition to the owner, have been in operation for at least two years, and generate a minimum of $500,000 in annual revenue. Here are the businesses that were selected for the inaugural cohort: ● Eagle Specialties, LLC ● Elderly Instruments ● Fido & Stitch ● Groovy Donuts ● Jungle Jane Promotions ● Marshall Holding ● Neuco Furniture & Upholstery ● Pioneer Machine and Technology, Inc ● The Betty Brigade ● Winsome Travel Design ● Wolverine Pickleball Recent data underscores the need for the support provided by this new program. Only 10% of women business owners report securing a small business loan, and women-owned businesses receive just 2.2% of all venture capital funding in the U.S. Operationally, 59% struggle with hiring and retaining qualified staff, while 80% face difficulties dealing with increased costs. "Women-owned businesses in Michigan confront a multitude of challenges that hinder their growth potential," said Kim Bode, Program Director. "From financial constraints to operational difficulties, our fellowship is designed to address these issues comprehensively." To address these issues, the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship offers: ● One-on-one mentorship with established business leaders ● Monthly learning sessions on critical business topics ● Networking opportunities with investors and industry leaders ● Guidance on accessing capital and growth resources ● Support in obtaining relevant business certifications ● Specialized courses on financial management, marketing, and operational efficiency "The Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship addresses the unique challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in Michigan,” said Amy Rencher, Senior Vice President of Small Business Services at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). “Through its targeted $73 million investment, the Small Business Support Hubs program exemplifies our economic development strategy's commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive business ecosystem across the state.

The Trump Regime has started to new line of attack against Michigan universities and colleges: By forcing foreign students to leave via threats of deportation. The Regime is also issuing similar threats to foreign students across the country in an effort, they say, to remove those who are a risk to America.  But what this is really about is pleasing the anti-immigrant and anti-science MAGA Republican base, draining universities of much-needed federal funding, and removing the free speech rights of noncitizens. And after they are successful at stamping-out free speech rights for noncitizens, they'll go after American citizens for criticism them.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES:  "More foreign students in Michigan targeted for deportation, including 22 at U-M."
