Chris Harkins will take us through the Michigan state budget process, including how the budget is designed, the steps in the process, limitations he has encountered, and what can go wrong.

Chris spent 20 years in every part of state government. He is now Associate Vice President, Capital Planning and Strategic Initiatives in the Office of Finance at Michigan State University.

A Zoom link will be sent to registrants before the program. We routinely initiate Zoom auto-transcription. If you need further accommodation for accessibility, please notify the organizer by 4:00 p.m. Eastern the Thursday before the program. We will address your need if possible.

A recording will be posted on the Detroit Public Library YouTube channel and on lwvdetroit.org a few weeks after the program.
