Dave Massaron (State of Michigan)
LANSING, Mich. – Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced that she has appointed Dave Massaron to serve as state budget director.
Massaron is the Chief Financial Officer for the City of Detroit. Before her worked as CFO, he worked as the city’s Chief Operating Officer and Senior Counsel to Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan .
Dave has been an outstanding CFO for the city of Detroit and I congratulate him on taking this new opportunity.
He helped set Detroit on a course of continued financial stability while ensuring continued service levels we’ve maintained, even during COVID-19. Dave leaves the city in a strong financial position, which has made it possible for us to sell up to $250 million in bonds to transform more of our neighborhoods through Proposal N. I wish him well and know he will be just as successful as our state’s budget director.
Mike Duggan He also worked to create the Detroit Promise Zone Authority and fund the Detroit Promise. It provides tuition-free college educations for Detroit high school graduates.
Throughout his service to the City of Detroit, Dave Massaron has shown a deep commitment to ensuring Detroiters have the support they need. He is uniquely qualified to serve as Budget Director for the state, where I am confident he will work around the clock to build a balanced budget that supports our recovery from the pandemic by investing in our public schools, public health and safety, and economic opportunity.
I look forward to working closely with Dave to pass a bipartisan budget and ensure we provide everyone the support and services they need.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer He graduated from James Madison College at Michigan State University and the William and Mary School of Law.
Former budget director Chris Kolb is stepping down to serve as vice president for government relations at the University of Michigan. Massaron’s appointment is effective January 4, 2021.
I am grateful that Governor Whitmer has entrusted me with the task of building a strong, balanced budget for Michiganders that invests in our shared values.
It was the greatest honor of my career to work and learn from Mayor Duggan as we restructured the City to better serve its residents. I’m ready and eager to work with the Governor’s team and the State Legislature to get a bipartisan budget passed for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
