No two conversations are the same for lobbyist Cami Pendell. In last week’s blog post, she shares one of the things that she finds the most enjoyable about being a lobbyist.

Over 1,000 candidates filed to run for office this past week, including candidates for governor, US Senate and House, and the Michigan Senate and House.

The Board of State Canvassers met to certify two proposals; one, which seeks to legalize marihuana, was approved, while the second proposal that seeks to repeal prevailing wage laws was not certified due to a tie vote.

The House and Senate continued to work on the state budgets; the House approved their two omnibus budgets, while the Senate Appropriations Committee reported their remaining budgets to the Senate floor.

Governor Snyder wrapped up his eight-day investment mission to Europe by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the State Secretary of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy of The Netherlands.

In our weekly “Five Things We’re Reading” feature we have articles on why the US is falling behind other countries when it comes to happiness, a new push for Senate interns to be paid, plus more.
