“Governing for Results” means one thing above all else – The State of Michigan will deliver results to its citizens. Being able to incorporate citizens’ demands into planning the Executive Budget through Budgeting for Outcomes and now the Cabinet Action Plan, state government will deliver the results citizens want.
Building on the citizen input received in prior years, six cross-disciplinary work groups identified goals to reflect what citizens most want from state government. Ultimately, Governor Granholm adopted six goals as her commitment to the people of Michigan.
