The Michigan Re-Start – Join us on December 13
By John Bebow | Published: November 4, 2010
The election is over and now the hard work of governing begins.
The Center for Michigan and Business Leaders for Michigan invite you to join a statewide agenda-setting conference on Monday, December 13 at the Raddison Hotel in downtown Lansing.
This “Common Sense Reforms for a New Michigan” event will feature panels on public sector efficiency, making Michigan more competitive, and investing in the state’s future. We’re reaching out to all legislators, legislative leaders, and Gov.-elect Rick Snyder to encourage them to attend.
Come to this free event to help set the tone as Gov.-Elect Rick Snyder and dozens of new legislators take office and begin to address major challenges in nearly every aspect of state policy, from budget negotiations to education to how to provide basic public services in an era of deep downsizing.
SPACE IS VERY LIMITED! REGISTER TODAY!
THE PROMISE OF JANUARY
Politicians far and wide proclaimed Pure Michigan essential when they were on the campaign trail. It's time to pay up as soon as they take office in January. You can help deliver the prod - via email - to assure that this public investment with eye-popping financial returns isn't dark in 2011.
LESSONS FROM PITTSBURGH
A fascinating public radio series this week explores how the Steel City is shaking the rust belt that still holds down Detroit. To accompany that radio series, the Center for Michigan dives deep on the economic data to help illustrate how, and how much, Pittsburgh is making the economic transformation.
GARDENING FOR FUTURE HARVESTS
A new report from the Small Business Association of Michigan advocates big changes in state economic development policy - 'gardening,' including market research and other tools to help small business thrive rather than 'hunting' for huge new factories.
PENSION FOLLOW UPS
Our report last week on the financial and tax implications of pensions in Grand Rapids drew an I-told-you-so from the city's fiscal director and cries of "us too" from a Traverse City commissioner, among others.
OPEN UP THE PRIMARIES
If we hope to move from the political extremes in Michigan and across the U.S., open primaries may be the bridge to better bipartisanship, Phil Power writes this week.
LAST CHANCE FOR SEATS
More than 400 people have registered so far for the December 13 "Common Sense Reforms for a New Michigan" summit hosted by the Center for Michigan and Business Leaders for Michigan. Register today to grab one of the last remaining seats.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
The Center for Michigan wishes to thank the many thousands of citizens who participated in our public engagement and public information programs in this election year. This newsletter will return after the Thanksgiving holiday.
