Today, First Lieutenant William Milzarski of Bath Township received the Purple Heart Medal at a ceremony in the rotunda of the state capitol in Lansing. As a platoon leader in Afghanistan, First Lieutenant Milzarski led 24 soldiers on 244 combat missions. On May 27, 2011, he was struck in the face by a ricocheted bullet as he and his men were engaged in combat with the enemy.

“Whether constituents need help with a federal agency or want information for a trip to Washington, they can expect to continue receiving great service at this new location. I look forward to seeing constituents at the open house,” said Moolenaar.

Representative John Moolenaar announced that the Fourth Congressional District will participate in the 2015 Congressional Art Competition.

The regional winners will have the opportunity for their art to appear in the Midland district office.

“I voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security to keep America safe from the threat of terrorism. Because of ISIS and other threats to our security we must do what we can to prevent them from striking the United States. “The federal courts have already prohibited President Obama’s executive orders on immigration from being implemented. The president himself said twenty-two times that he could not use executive authority on immigration. This overreach and abuse of power must be reviewed and stopped by the judicial branch of government.”

“The Internet regulations announced by the FCC today are wholly unwarranted. The Internet has flourished and become a great success because it is not overly regulated by the government. The proposed FCC rules will have a chilling effect on American innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit that makes our nation great. To keep that success going, the government should end these heavy-handed regulations,” said Moolenaar.

“I voted to expand and strengthen college savings plans because they help hard-working American families save money and make college more affordable. Under the current law, computers are not included as a college expense. This legislation brings this tax policy into the 21st century, because a computer is an essential tool for student success,” said Moolenaar.
