State Rep Lori honored by crime-prevention organization

Outgoing State Rep. Matt Lori was honored earlier this month by a number of dignitaries and representatives from a crime-prevention organization.
Officials from the group “Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Michigan,” a non-profit organization led by more than 500 of Michigan’s police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors and crime survivors, honored Lori with a “Crime Fighter Award” during a reception at the state Capitol.
Grand Ledge Police Chief Martin Underhill, president of the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police and a state executive committee member of “Fight Crime,” presented the award.
Underhill complimented Lori for support and leadership on behalf of prevention through early childhood programs, including high-quality preschool and child day care, health care and higher learning standards.
Ingham County Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth, said Lori’s leadership on prevention included supporting the $130 million increase in the state-funded preschool to ensure eligible Michigan children have access to high-quality preschool.
