State Representative Vincent Gregory calls on the Senate to approve a plan that would extend unemployment benefits to Michigan's struggling workers at a press conference on Monday, Aug. 24, 2009, in Pontiac at the Oakland County Service Center. Gregory was joined by State Representatives, from left, Ellen Cogen Lipton, Tim Melton and Lisa Brown. The legislators warned that nearly 100,000 Michigan workers, including close to 11,000 in Oakland County, will have their benefits cut if the Senate does not pass a plan that the House approved in May.
