Governor Rick Snyder says he will outline his proposals to reform Michigan government next week. During his State of the State address in January, the governor said he’d give specifics on governmental reform in March.
Governor Snyder told the Associated Press that he hasn’t yet set a specific date for next week's address. The AP reports:
Snyder said Tuesday he wants state and local governments to offer better government accountability and transparency, spend less on employee compensation and share or consolidate more services. He has proposed cutting revenue sharing for local governments by $100 million. Local officials say the lost funds will force them to lay off police officers and firefighters and drastically cut services.
During his State of the State address, the Governor also said he’d deliver a special address on education in April.
