Legislators visit GVSU

The chair of the Michigan House Appropriations Committee, Rep. George Cushingberry (D-Detroit), visited Grand Valley State University's Pew Grand Rapids Campus Friday morning.

Cushingberry spoke at a meeting hosted by Rep. Michael Sak (D-Grand Rapids). Both arrived on campus Friday morning after an all night session in Lansing at which agreement was not reached on the fiscal year 2008 budget. The chairman said he expected the House to resume session Sunday to try again.

Sak and Cushingberry were also interviewed by Kurt Steiner of WGVU Radio News, the university's NPR station. Sak is an alumnus of Grand Valley.
