Michigan 1948 special session settles reform tug of war
The 1948 Michigan special session ended with a compromise that limits governor control by adding a state administrative board oversight. Governor Sigler and the reform committee paused drastic constitutional changes and postponed merger plans of 100 agencies into 18. Budget reforms and a new comptroller role for John Perkins were outlined, while predicting a $14 million deficit and possible repeal of the sales tax diversion.
