Waste Watch: Michigan Economic Development Corporation targeted by state lawmakers

Описание: For nearly 30 years, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) has encouraged companies to invest in the Great Lakes State.

The public-private partnership has given hundreds of millions of dollars to new and established companies; money some lawmakers say should be in your wallet.

Michigan leaders are divided on the merits of the MEDC, which is now facing pressure from state Republicans to disband.

They accuse the corporation of using taxpayer money on projects that go nowhere, while the organization itself says its results speak for themselves.
