Protecting Natural Gas Choice
State Rep. Joe Pavlov of Smiths Creek says Michigan families could see help on their energy bills thanks to House Bill 4486. Passed by the state House last month, the bill blocks local governments from banning natural gas in new homes or buildings. Pavlov says natural gas keeps energy options affordable, especially as heating costs rise across the Thumb. The plan passed 61–42 and now heads to the Senate, with local lawmakers like Greg Alexander, Matthew Bierlein, and Phil Green backing the measure.
