1) this is michigan !!!! by suppressed american on April 7, 2006 if you have lived in michigan for any length of time you should know that this is not the state for prosperity. this is the state of high taxes, strong regulations, and government control. you own a busniess, therefor you come under higher government control. michigan trys to come up with different ways to penalize busniesses, such as the situation concering this bill. if passed, this will cause you extra hardship and, $$$, not to mention your possibility of closing the doors. hence, the state of michigan has won [lost] again. isn't life great in michigan ????

2) Fitness Center AED requirement by Kaydebee on April 6, 2006 This bill is making a hardship on small fitness clubs. This would be the most expensive equipment that I would purchase. I have under 100 customers, and no employee's>
Why do I have to have a piece of equipment that I do "not have a duty to render service to an individual using an AED that a health club has on the premises?"
Will I have to hire a employee as I have none at this time? Reply
