 Michigan’s leaders agree that we need to attract more people to our state. Yet one central question remains: how do we make it happen, and who is responsible for leading the way?

Jeff Donofrio is the president and chief executive officer of Business Leaders For Michigan. He’s written about this topic in several reports, and he’s worked for the City of Detroit and the State of Michigan to resolve the problem. He joined host Robyn Vincent on The Metro to explore why government culture needs to change to build more housing, better regional transit, and to attract more people to the state.
