Gov. Rick Snyder to give State of the State address Wednesday
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder will give his second State of the State address at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the state Capitol in Lansing.
Snyder did not narrow down the topic of his speech, but said it's more "setting a tone for the entire year," according to a story by the Detroit Free Press.
Some potential topics include increasing state police troopers to ensure public safety, improving customer service from government workers toward taxpayers and improving laws in reference to campaigning ethics.
Public schools and universities are also expected to be discussed, but Snyder did not go into detail on the range of topics.
The Flint Journal reported the governor will also discuss tax policy, including the Michigan Business Tax, which he and Rep. Paul Scott (R-Grand Blanc) have agreed needs to be repealed.
Snyder took office on Jan. 1, 2011, and gave his first State of the State address 18 days later when he discussed plans for the Detroit River International Crossing.
Students living in the residents halls can tune into WCMU to watch Snyder's speech Wednesday, while WNEM will be carrying the program for off-campus residents.
