MLive with Poll: Even with popularity dive, business community excited over accomplishments in Snyder's first two years

The Michigan Chamber of Commerce and other statewide business groups are very pleased with the first two years of Rick Snyder’s tenure as governor, MLive’s Melissa Anders reports.

The report comes on the heels of a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling that shows the governor's disapproval rating jumping to 57 percent, a 19 percent swing from their most recent poll in early november.

Snyder's first two years in office have been very positive for the business community.

Many of the legislative priorities set out by the groups, including eliminating the Michigan Business Tax and Personal Property Tax, were accomplished, and making Michigan a right-to-work state was a major “win” for the camp. According to the report, the legislature also passed a bill last week to get rid of the equipment tax paid by manufacturers.

Even with much accomplished, the business community still has a wish list for the second half of the governor’s term. New focus could include reforming Michigan’s no-fault auto insurance, an issue that Governor Snyder has said is on his agenda.
