Notas del editor

  1. Opening remarks Thank group for attending Introduction of the League/yourself
  2. Over the past two decades, Michigan has seen a dramatic shift in spending priorities. When you compare state spending against our state wealth, you see a big priority placed on corrections and disinvestments in health and human services, higher education and revenue sharing, which pays for municipal services such as police and fire protection. We need to shift back to those things that makes communities and citizens stronger and more productive
