Mike LaFaive, director of the Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative, explained how and why Gov. Rick Snyder should put state employees in cost-efficient health savings accounts.
Fiscal Policy Analyst James Hohman detailed the $5.7 billion difference between public-sector benefits and those in the private sector.
