Government
Relations
The food
industry is highly regulated and subject to strict standards.
The Michigan Grocers Association aggressively supports the
industry's interests in the legislature and with state agencies,
working to limit government's intervention in their business.
MGA’s
professional staff works in the halls of the State Capitol every
day to ensure that the food industry’s voice is heard on
important legislative and regulatory matters. Public hearings,
legislative committee meetings, and daily sessions of the House
and Senate all require constant attention.
Advocating the
food industry's interests in state government is not a sideline,
it's our job. Over the years we've had numerous legislative and
regulatory successes. Our plate remains full of initiatives to
keep the food industry competitive and worry-free so store
owners and company executives can concentrate on their core
business.
