Detroit Renaissance, a private, non-profit business leadership organization dedicated to accelerating Michigan’s economic growth, commended the House GOP’s Reinvigorate, Reinvest, Reform plan to enact $1.4 billion in overall budget cuts and savings.

Detroit Renaissance and other business organizations have urged legislators to pass structural reforms along with spending cuts as long-term solutions to make Michigan more attractive for job creation and investment growth with little traction before now. Polling data shows the public is aware of the state’s severe fiscal situation and expects leaders to take action now.

Detroit Renaissance President Doug Rothwell called the structural reforms the right direction for Michigan.
