Milliken, Kelley To Head Smart Growth Commission

11 January 2003 - 2:00pm

Governor's decision energizes lively legislative debate in Michigan.

"With her appointment of former Governor William G. Milliken and former Attorney General Frank J. Kelley as co-chairmen of a state land use reform commission, new Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm is further energizing what already promises to be a lively, long-suppressed debate on Smart Growth legislation in Lansing. Groups that relished another former governor's ability to keep those debates off the agenda will now have to engage in a much more public discussion with Smart Growth advocates who are eager for productive reforms."
