Bush arrives in Grand Rapids

President Bush arrives in Grand Rapids

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) - President George Bush's brief visit to Grand Rapids and Ada includes a lunch at the Schnitz Ada Grill.

The lunch participants reportedly include Rep. Vern Ehlers, Flexco Grand Rapids GM Nancy Ayers, Jeanne Englehart, president of the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, Jim Dunlap of Huntington National Bank, Bing Goei, owner of Eastern Floral and Gifts, Steelcase CEO Jim Hackett, Ada Bike Shop owner Jim Ippel and Peter Perez and Jerri Symmes of Carter Products Company.

President Bush will make a statement on the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and the Department of the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Plan, which we will make available online later this afternoon.

I've voted for Vern Ehlers since 1993 but no more. I urge you to find out if your congressman voted for the bailout and not send him/her back to Washington if he/she did.
