Jim is attending a celebration party this evening in Ann Arbor. He, along with a team of others, were recently recognized for advocating new tax legislation in Michigan. The legislation relates to historic rehabilitation tax credits available to developers, funded by the State of Michigan. The bottom line is, with the new legislation, more funding is available to developers that are interested in rehabilitating historic buildings. I would have loved to be there to help celebrate. However a few hours is a long trip for me these days, and the party and drive home will extend well past my 8:00 bedtime!
In addition to the party, Jim was interviewed by the local newspaper regarding the topic. His article can be found here:

Here is a picture of Jim and other team members with Governor Jennifer Granholm to commemorate the signing of the legislation. Jim is third from left.
Besides sharing the good news with all of you, I hope the twins will look back at this someday and be proud of their "famous" daddy. :)
