Flashpoint Interview: Business leaders address debate over spending of Michigan’s surplus Tax cuts? Infrastructure? How some say Michigan’s surplus should be spent
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer delivered her State of the State address this week, which was fronted by something unusual for a Michigan governor: a surplus.
