1/18/13 - Governor Rick Snyder spoke before a sold out crowd at a luncheon hosted by the Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce at Crystal Gardens in Genoa Township Thursday. The Republican Governor talked about better funding for roads through user fees, the importance of creating jobs but also and matching supply and demand for the talent pool. The speech came right on the heels of his State of the State address and Snyder says heâs committed to reinventing the state because fixing Michigan is not good enough. Snyder reaffirmed his goal clean-up state government and help pave the way for future leaders to be successful. One in the making is Howell High School Senior Aaron Osborne - one of the 29 students who make up the districtâs âWe the Peopleâ team, which recently won the state finals congressional competition. He felt the Governor demonstrated how itâs not about partisan bickering but coming together and doing things to better the state while reaching toward the future. Howell Downtown Development Authority Director Diane Larkin tells WHMI that for her, Snyderâs message of keeping things positive, being relentless about changing what needs to change and continuing to take action is right on target. While Snyder was speaking, around 50 protestors were picketed outside over his signing of the Right to Work law last month. (See story below for details)
