In the Copper Country over the past 24 hours, Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist wasn’t making any promises about restoring state budget money headed for our area that was cut by Governor Gretchen Whitmer…

Gilchrist wrapped up his trip to the Keweenaw this morning, and has moved on to Marquette.
