Commerce Secretary Snyder? Michigan Governor's Future Hot Topic on 'Michigan Matters'
Following the crushing defeat of Proposal 1 and Gov. Rick Snyder's announcement Thursday night that he was finally ending speculation that he might run for president, the "Michigan Matters" roundtable vetted what comes next for Michigan's 48th governor who is term limited.
"I think he could be positioning himself as a possible veep candidate or maybe a cabinet position," said Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, who appeared along with Denise Ilitch and Cliff Russell.
When pressed by host Carol Cain on which cabinet post, Patterson responded, "He'd be a good commerce secretary.,"
Snyder, who is in New York Thursday and Friday, where he rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, has been a champion for Proposal 1 which gained the dubious distinction of being given a thumb down by 80-percent of Michigan voters on Tuesday.
The roundtable talked about what comes next in the bid to repair our crumbling roads with all eyes looking to state legislators for action.
On other topics, Russell talked about the oppressively high costs of auto insurance in Detroit and how Mayor Mike Duggan was trying to address them.
Finally, find out who took a switch to Patterson and got away with it and learn about the creativity of Marian Ilitch.
Watch "Michigan Matters" 11:30 a.m. Sunday on CBS 62.
