In his State of the State address this week, Governor Snyder highlighted how Michigan has made a comeback since the Great Recession. But Detroit News business columnist Daniel Howes says the state still has a long recovery ahead.
Howes highlights in his recent article how Michigan has gone through a transformation that makes it impossible to truly return to where we once were. He emphasizes that Michigan shouldn’t be thinking in terms of the past, but instead focusing on truly moving forward.
Governor Snyder addressed many issues in his speech, including roads funding and changes to the state's civil rights law, two issues some Republicans aren’t too thrilled about.
Howes says working with his own party could prove problematic for the governor, given his relatively moderate stance on those issues. Howes says given that Snyder is term-limited, he may be trying to form a coalition with moderates from both sides of the aisle.
