The Michigan Municipal League was in a full-court press Thursday afternoon responding to Gov. Rick Snyder's budget plan announced yesterday. We issued a press release and a call to action for our members as well as did numerous print, radio and TV interviews. Members can do the call to action here at this link.

Michigan Municipal League leaders responded strongly to Governor Snyder's proposed budget. League CEO Dan Gilmartin and League President Carol Shafto issued this press release within minutes following Snyder's speech. And Summer Minnick, our director of state affairs was in numerous articles. Go here for a list of the online articles involving the League and the budget.

The League's Anthony Minghine participated in a live online chat at 2 p.m. Thursday on mlive.com to discuss the potentially disastrous impact of this budget plan on vital public services in communities across the state. View the entire online chat at this link.
