Trust In Government And Right To Work Addressed In Poll

Do you trust your government?

The latest Michigan State University State of the State survey shows 41-percent of respondents trust their local leaders but that that number drops sharply when asked about their state and federal leaders.

Doctor Charles Ballard, an MSU economics professor and director of the survey, says there used to be a clear divide between local, state and federal politicians.

This time around, however, state and federal leaders are on the same level.

The survey also found people are split on whether right-to-work will hurt Michigan in the long run.

The state’s right-to-work law was approved in 2013.

It prohibits union dues as a condition of employment.
