Substitute offered

Among these, the Senate would require the Grand Rapids and Jacobetti veterans' homes to privatize services, realizing $4 million in savings. However, the bill concurs with the Governor's proposal to close armories in Charlotte, Lansing, Manistique, Menominee, Saginaw and Three Rivers.
