RUTH J OHNS ON - MI CHI GAN S E CRE TARY OF S TATE
The Ruth Report Dear Friends,
Every year we take a moment to look back at just what our team has been able to accomplish.
The 2014 State of the SOS is now available online. Click here to access. Highlights include our efforts to fight fraud, safeguard integrity in elections and to shorten lines and improve customer service.
Im very proud of the team we have in Lansing and all weve been able to get done in the last three years. We are really making a difference in the lives of families, from our record-breaking organ donor numbers to helping Michigans 680,000 veterans. Other updates: PROTECTING CONSUMERS - Our office is now part of a national database designed to prevent car thefts and protect consumers from title fraud. This will help Michigan residents who buy used vehicles to ensure that they havent been wrecked or damaged out of state. CONVENIENCE - Mechanic testing is now available at kiosks in 80 of our branch offices. All offices now offer immediate results to the test-taker so they can get to work. NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED - Our drivers education program was recently honored as exemplary by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That means safer roads for all of our families. Warm regards,
