    THIS BILL SHOULD BE SHREDDED!!!!

    What is Senator Ron Jelinek trying to do, drum-up business for "personal servers?" How much more is he planning to cost the ordinary individual to go before a Small Claims Court? What if the individual or persons cannot afford a personal server? They need to go to Small Claims Court for reasons such as-- in the case of trying to get reimbursed their deposit from an unscrupulous landlord. Many people cannot afford the additional expense of a personal server. Why would not sending notice by certified mail be sufficient? It has been handled in that method for many years. SB 1298 would cost the Small Claims filer an additional, unnecessary expense. What purpose does that serve? There are many people getting by from paycheck to paycheck, if they're lucky enough to have a job in Michigan's current economic climate. Not everyone has the income, let alone the benefits coming in that our Lansing legislators receive. THIS BILL SHOULD BE THROWN IN THE CIRCULAR FILE AND SHREDDED!
