As MLC’s Communications and Social Media Manager, Liz Gullett keeps clients informed and up-to-date on the goings on in Lansing and the Capitol.

Over the past week, we covered these topics on the MLC Blog… 

In her latest post, MLC lobbyist Monica Martinez shared how something as simple as a bag can bring organization and order into our chaotic lives.

Revenue from major taxes and net lottery revenue totaled $4.1 billion in October, a 3.5% increase from the prior year according to the monthly revenue report by the Senate Fiscal Agency.

Michigan’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in October rose by two-tenths of a percentage point to 4.7% according to the monthly report by the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget.

A look at Michelle Lange, director of the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB).

In our weekly “Five Things We’re Reading” feature we shared articles on reflecting on professional relationships, the first virtual meeting, and more.

In the latest in our spotlight series, we featured Senator Sue Shink, chair of the Natural Resources and Agriculture Committee.
