A2: Lansing

In a column about the state Senate’s move to revoke partner benefits for unmarried state workers, the Michigan Messenger notes that Democrat Rebekah Warren of Ann Arbor was one of two state senators who opposed the resolution, which was approved on a 4-2 vote in the Senate Committee on Reforms, Restructuring and Reinventing. From the column: “Warren raised valid concerns with today’s challenge to the Michigan Civil Service Commission decision. As she stated, Snyder’s foundation for his proposal to turn Michigan around is rooted in his claim that we need to run Michigan like a business. The fact is that more than half of Fortune 500 companies consider it a priority to offer Other Eligible Individual benefit programs to their employees.” [Source]
