Michigan population has been growing a little too slowly for her taste, so Whitmer has appointed a Chief Growth Officer and formed the Growing Michigan Together Council. Not surprisingly, her bottom line is to \u201cspur economic growth.\u201d In an episode you should share with YOUR governor, you\u2019ll get the details and find out why this news puts \u201ca bee in Dave\u2019s bonnet,\u201d plus news about some outstanding new studies, a wonderful commentary in Newsweek, a crazy podcast you\u2019ll like, and a possible candidate for U.S. President.
