Michael LaFaive, director of the Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative, told The Bay City Times that he was surprised Proposal 1 failed Tuesday, but not so with the five constitutional amendments.
LaFaive told The Times Proposal 2 was the “most harmful to sound public policy.”
LaFaive also said he’s curious to see how the Legislature responds.
“Will they view this as a mandate for greater legislative leadership and perhaps legislative reforms that they may not have considered in the past?”
