MLA’s Statement in Response to Governor Whitmer's State of the State Address

January 26, 2023

Scott Duimstra Headshot

During this year's State of the State address, Governor Whitmer discussed many initiatives, and in doing so, highlighted the need for investments that will make our communities better places to live, work and visit. She asked Michiganders to lead by example and commit to bringing our collective “A” game for a brighter future. 

MLA looks forward to working with the Governor and legislative leaders on creating great places and focusing on issues vital to our libraries.
