New license requirements hurting Michigan's economy?

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

GRAND RAPIDS (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Local leaders want the government to make a u-turn on new drivers license requirements.

Chamber members say the changes prevent businesses from attracting highly-skilled professionals from around the world, something our region depends on to get by.

The group meets Wednesday and will call on lawmakers to scale back the new regulations.
