Weekly Political Roundup: Medicaid expansion problems, universities face possible penalties
By Jennifer White and Mercedes Mejia
Each week for a look at Michigan politics, we’re joined by Susan Demas, political analyst at Michigan Information and Research Service, and Ken Sikkema, former Senate Majority Leader and Senior Policy Fellow at Public Sector Consultants.
On today's "Weekly Political Roundup," Governor Snyder wants an expansion of Medicaid adding about 400,000 people to its roles. A state House subcommittee yesterday removed a budget provision that would make that possible. We talk about what’s behind the rejection. Plus, we explore the politics around financially penalizing universities and school districts that sign long term contracts with unions in advance of the new right-to-work law, which goes into effect next week.
