Governor Rick Snyder signed a stack of bills this week
While the lawmakers are away, the governor will…sign? Before heading out on their holiday break, lawmakers sent a flurry of bills to the governor’s desk.
One big package the governor signed includes a plan to help make sure municipalities have the money they need for employee retirement.
Anna Heaton is a spokesperson for Governor Snyder. She says this legislation was a priority for the governor.
“This puts into place an early warning system so they can see the total picture and see if they’re adequately funding these benefits before it’s too late to really get their arms around the problem.”
The governor still has bills about opioids waiting for his signature. Heaton says the governor plans to sign them next week.
