“Tonight, Governor Whitmer acknowledged the significant work ahead and the need to come together to change our state’s trajectory. Every day, employers make decisions about where to invest and create jobs. To win more of those investments in 2024, we’ll need to come together to build consensus and implement solutions that make Michigan a more prosperous and competitive state,” said Jeff Donofrio, president and CEO, Business Leaders for Michigan.
