Posted by MSU College Democrats | April 16, 2010

By a unanimous vote, the voting members of the Michigan State University College Democrats today endorsed Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero for Governor. 

“Mayor Virg Bernero has proven results that will put Michigan back on track after the tough economic times we have experienced,” said Mitchell Rivard, President of the MSU College Democrats. “He has a track record of being able to make tough decisions while at the same time having innovative ideas to drive Michigan forward. Concerning higher education, he is a strong advocate on behalf of students across the state and knows the difficulties students face regarding the rising costs of tuition.”

Under Bernero’s leadership, Lansing has leveraged more than a half-billion dollars in new investment that will retain and create more than 6,000 full-time jobs. Even in the face of serious revenue losses and rising costs, Bernero erased more than $30 million in city budget deficits without raising taxes by making government more efficient and more accountable.
