It's a shame that the Mayor locked out the general public to this event.

What is needed are better paying jobs with benefits and opportunity for advancement,” Parry said. The city’s unemployment rate dropped from 5.4% to 2.9% last year, compared to the state’s rate dropping from 3.7% to 2.7%, he said. “Per IRS statistics, Michigan City is a struggling community — 70% of our families are low-income; 1 in 4 families live in poverty,” Parry said. |
