LANSING - Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today issued the following statement on the U.S. House of Representatives' passage of the economic recovery bill:

"I applaud the Michigan members of the U.S. House of Representatives who voted in favor of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act this afternoon," said Governor Granholm. "This legislation means that over 100,000 jobs will be created in Michigan, that we can provide immediate help for struggling Michigan families, and that we can make the long-term investments needed to diversify our economy. Once this legislation is passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Obama, Michigan's economy will get the jump start it needs to create jobs today and jobs tomorrow."
