Back from a deer hunting and Thanksgiving break the Legislature looks like it will do unemployment insurance reform. If state does not act soon it will face massive federal penalities and the program in Michigan could implode. Of course the unemployment insurance fund is in trouble because of huge layoffs since 2008 in auto industry and other Michigan based businesses.
Senate and House both have bills and are holding joint hearings--somewhat rare.
Could be the only issue that Gov and the Leg move forward in the brief December session. Might be some action on more K-12 reform and charter school cap lifting, but not sure at this point. More news this week.
Seems positive that there will be no action on issues such as The Bridge to Canada, Right to Work, electric dereg etc....
More to come.
