The topic in Something to Think About is “What are the Chances…?” Governor Snyder unveiled his FY 2017 state budget last week with what he targets as 6 critical investments in 3 general areas. What are the critical investments?
Are other important initiatives or investments overlooked? In recent years, the budget has been finalized by June 30, a nice change from previous administrations when budgets, in many cases, were not finalized until the September 30 deadline for the start of the next fiscal year. What are the chances that the State Legislature will agree with the Governor’s proposals or will we be mired in political deadlock?
