Lansing, MI – State Senator Joe Bellino recently voted for legislation to honor Monroe Township firefighter Joseph Liedel, who died in the line of duty in 2020. He passed away from injuries suffered while responding to an emergency at the age of 48.
House Bill 4845 would designate a portion of Highway M-125, also known as South Dixie Highway, in Monroe County from East Dunbar Road to East Albain Road as the ‘Captain Joseph M. Liedel Memorial Highway.’
If the bill is signed into law, it will have no fiscal impact on state or local government. State law requires sufficient private contributions to completely cover the cost of erecting and maintaining markers indicating the name of a memorial highway.
