Good Morning from #MPC23. It’s Michigan’s Moment with @Richard_Florida @anikagf @RipRapson. See you @ 10:30 am in the Brighton Pavilion!

[Rip Rapson @RipRapson]

Here is a small preview of his thinking: The widely held perception that Michigan suffers from a brain drain is a myth. It ranks 7th nationally for its percentage of college graduates who stay in the state. But it lags badly in attracting young tech talent from elsewhere. #MPC23

[Rip Rapson @RipRapson]

Richard’s @Creative_Class was commissioned to assess the state of Michigan’s economy & how it can position itself to take full advantage of the opportunities of technological transformation, the knowledge economy & new mobility platforms. The report will be unveiled at #MPC23.

Looking forward to today's #MackinacPolicyConference session with @Richard_Florida, a leading urbanist of our generation. We'll discuss the paths Michigan needs to take to aspire to higher levels of health & equity. Watch live 10:30 am ET: https://t.co/n8LYzTOUn5 @DetroitChamber

Thank you @GovWhitmer for caring about Michigan students and families!

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

This morning, I was on @Michiganstateu campus where just 8 weeks ago, we lost 3 Spartans to gun violence. The entire MSU community is still healing, but we dug deep and worked together to take action. And today, I’m proud to sign gun safety legislation that will save lives. 🧵
