More than 100 municipal leaders from throughout Michigan as well as several media representatives attended Gov. Rick Snyder’s speech in St. Joseph (July 28, 2011) at the annual Michigan Local Government Management Association summer conference. The speech highlighted the governor’s accomplishments, including that he’s already signed more than 120 bills into law, and allowed for an extended Q & A with MLGMA attendees. He stressed his appreciation for public service, and the importance of collaboration between the state and local units of government. He also reiterated the importance of service sharing between various units of government. The Governor said he was working on a special message on health and one on talent. He said he believed talent attraction and development (http://www.mml.org/resources/21c3/econ_development.html) is a matter of supply meeting demand. The Michigan Municipal League also agrees that talent attraction is important in having thriving communities and state, but place is extremely important as well as identified in the League’s Center for 21st Century Communities initiative: www.mml.org/resources/21c3/about.html.
