As you know the Governor-elect (R.Snyder) is slowly putting a Cadre together with which he hopes to reinvent Michigan! I have contacted many of the individuals to congratulate them and let them know we look forward to working with them in the Future.
Most all of these folks we have worked with and known for many years. All of whom are good people and persons with integrity.
I am sure you will read about them in the Newspapers, as time goes on and the Inauguration approaches.
