Governor to give final State of the State tonight

  

Governor Rick Snyder gives his final State of the State address tomorrow. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have lists of issues they want the governor to talk about.

Speaker of the House Tom Leonard wants Snyder to address mental health reform.

But Leonard says it’s also important for the governor to stress the accomplishments of the Republican Party.

“I think he needs to remind the citizens of the state of Michigan how far we have come along over the past seven years as well.”

Leonard’s counterpart on the other side of the aisle views the past seven years a little differently. Representative Sam Singh leads the Democrats in the House. He says he’d like to see the governor address areas that haven’t seen improvement in the last seven years – like schools and infrastructure.
