A new two-year study on the state of Michigan’s approach to new public safety measures and criminal justice reform will be led by U-M researchers from @CLOSUP and #UMPovertySolutions. myumi.ch/XnbyD @fordschool
.@CLOSUP survey: Local government leaders across Michigan say the "right-to-work" law has had no impact on issues such as community business growth, the ability of local government to lure/keep public sector employees or fiscal health of their jurisdiction.news.umich.edu/michigan-local…
We're excited to partner with @UMich #UMPovertySolutions to better understand support for #criminaljustice reform, with support from @JoyceFdn. We hope to hear from stakeholders with suggestions. Email closup@UMich.edu. More at: myumi.ch/DwQzm & myumi.ch/8eDEn

Michigan local governments are facing challenges in spending the $4.4 billion in COVID relief allocated to them in the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act, according to a new @CLOSUP survey. myumi.ch/gRXPV
#Michigan #localgovs continue to experience a range of challenges spending #ARPA funds, particularly cost problems due to #inflation and procurement problems due to #supplychains and related issues. See the latest #MPPS survey: myumi.ch/Gkykg
Almost half of #localgov leaders in #Michigan’s #urban communities believe their government’s #workforce is not as representative as it could be of the community’s racial and ethnic composition. Just 24% have policies or practices to address this. See myumi.ch/w7egX
Our @bensolis1 puts his redistricting hat back on dives into the Michigan implications of last week's SCOTUS ruling in the Alabama U.S. House maps. Some really good insights here from those who were involved in Michigan's 2021 remapping process.
