Happy New Year! Or is it too late to say that? Find out by listening to our latest installment<\/a> of the Michigan Municipal League\u2019s first Monday Morning Live broadcast of 2019. We recorded it Monday, Jan. 7, and talked about the final days of the Lame Duck legislative session, what bills Governor Snyder vetoed and signed, and what we could expect from new Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the new legislature \u2013 Michigan\u2019s 100th<\/sup> Legislature. And we even had some fun with John.<\/p>\n

We hope you listen to the full 30-minute discussion, but for those of you in a hurry, here is a list of the time stamps on key issues we talked about today (here is the link: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MMLeague\/videos\/289744645019770\/<\/a>):<\/p>\n

18:55 \u2013 Can the Republican-held legislature (Michigan\u2019s 100th<\/sup> Legislature) get along with and get things done with our Democratic governor?<\/p>\n

19:50 – New name for a House committee \u2013 the Local Government Committee is now called the House Local Government and Municipal Finance committee. Is our SaveMICity.org effort making a difference?<\/p>\n
