LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- Leaders from both sides of the aisle in the state Legislature and governor Gretchen Whitmer met Wednesday.
It was the first of what could be regular so-called “quadrant meetings” among the lawmakers.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey says he hopes the meetings continue. But he’s not saying what they talked about.
“But I can tell you that we discussed everybody’s kind of top priorities and explored where we might get some early wins for Michigan,” he says.
These sort of meetings were common a few years ago. But leaders didn’t regularly meet with former Governor Rick Snyder during the last session—likely due to animosity among some leaders.
