Lori’s statement

State Rep. Matt Lori issued a statement following Gov. Rick Snyder’s State of the State address Wednesday.

Lori, 56, said he looks forward to working with Snyder to continue economic momentum and fostering a healthy economy in which more jobs can be created.

The Constantine-area resident, who is beginning his third, two-year term, said legislators have achieved much in putting Michigan back on track, but there’s more work to be done.

Lori said he is eager to work with the governor to improve Michigan’s roads and bridges, as a good infrastructure is vital to Southwest Michigan, Lori said.
