The Michigan Legislature returns to session on Wednesday, with issues like energy policy and the financially-strapped Detroit Public School system on their agenda.
A proposal from the governor to put up more than $700 million to address the debt in the school district has seen significant criticism.
Reforming energy policy is yet another issue, with some conservatives saying that energy should be up to competitive bidding, instead of relying on major utilities to build power plants.
How to cut costs in the corrections system is still another issue to be dealt with, especially since the governor’s budget will be introduced soon.
Some of the agenda may also be based on whatever the governor puts in his State of the State address.
