The Michigan Chamber of Commerce released this statement from President & CEO Jim Holcomb on tonight’s State of the State address from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer:
“The Michigan Chamber appreciates the focus Governor Whitmer placed on the importance of reinvigorating our state’s economy and growing businesses and jobs in this year’s State of the State. We know all too well that Michigan businesses are facing unprecedented challenges – from navigating the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation and supply chain chaos to the continuing workforce crisis. Finding solutions to these pressing issues is a top priority for the Michigan Chamber because they will help our state, communities and families succeed and help our economy grow. We urge the Governor to work collaboratively across the aisle with legislative leaders and lawmakers to find the bipartisan, pragmatic solutions our members and businesses need and count on. The Michigan Chamber is committed to being active participants in that process.”
