Michigan’s four new legislative leaders are expected to sit down with Goveror-elect Gretchen Whitmer this week for the first so-called quadrant meeting. Whitmer said last
week she will work “very hard” to build and maintain relationships with House Speaker Lee Chatfield of northern Michigan and Senate Majority leader Mike Shirkey of west
Michigan along with democratic leaders Jim Ananich of Flint and Christine Greig of Farmington Hills. The Governor-elect also says she is willing to work with anyone who is interested in solving problems because that’s what the people of Michigan want.
