The month of June for a Republican-led House and Democratic-controlled Senate ends with a game of budget season chicken in the state Capitol. Can the Legislature's pace in creating a K-12 budget impact the Governor's legacy?
Also, how do voters really feel about the U.S. House's new proposed Medicaid eligibility mandates? And does a new road funding plan for Michigan still seem achievable?
On the podcast to discuss these things and more is Lansing-based Andrea Bitely of Bitely Communications and Ann Arbor City Council Member Jen Eyer (5:45).
MIRS sits down with Michigan Chamber of Commerce president, Jim Holcomb, as well. Jim says the Chamber will be loud and aggressive in its opposition against proposed new taxes for single filers earning $500,000 or more (30:31).
