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…

The directors of the House and Senate Fiscal Agencies, State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks, and State Budget Director Jen Flood came together to reach a consensus on projected state revenue for the upcoming fiscal year.

The House and Senate held the first session day for the 2025 – 2026 legislative term.

Legislation was introduced making changes to the new laws regarding the state’s minimum wage and paid sick time laws, set to take effect next month.

The majority floor leaders in the House and Senate released the session schedules for 2025.

In our weekly “Five Things We’re Reading” feature, we shared articles on tech breakthroughs in 2024, why a ball is dropped on New Year’s Eve, and more.

A look at events during the week of January 11 – 17, 2025.
