| You might have noticed the little ticker off to the right for the Hire Michigan First package has now disappeared. That's because 1 month, 20 days, 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 37 seconds after it went live, the package came to a vote. With the exception of a few of the minor bills over prevailing wages and other stuff, the package passed the Senate. More later... Update! ... The bills that didn't come to a vote include one punishing companies for violating the prevailing wage law, a bill requiring companies to hire 100 percent Michigan workers if trained workers are available, and one requiring companies to report jobs creation as a result of this package. |
