What is the “Michigan’s Next Governor Project” ?

A bipartisan group of people long around Lansing politics and government is laying out Issue Competency 101 for Michigan’s next governor. The Michigan’s Next Governor Project has developed a 21-page document of specific questions and points spanning a myriad of topics related to the state and its government structures. Their goal is to outline the issues that will face whoever takes office in January 2011 and to generate public conversation on challenges for the state and its next chief executive.–Amy Lane, Capitol Correspondent, Crain’s Detroit Business
