A2: Governor-Elect

The Detroit News reports on remarks made by governor-elect Rick Snyder, who was the keynote speaker at Saturday’s Accelerate Michigan awards ceremony, hosted at the University of Michigan. Snyder told the crowd: “I believe we’ve had a broken culture in our state and that’s held us back. We’ve been beaten up for so many years, we’ve become too negative.” Once taking office, Snyder promised to encourage a two-year budget cycle in the hopes of reducing the state’s $1.6 billion deficit.
