It’s hard to keep a secret around here, but I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that it is my pleasure to announce on behalf of the members of the Senate Democratic Caucus that when I move on in January, State Senator Mike Prusi from the Upper Peninsula will be our next leader. I know that he will do a great job and has the full support of our caucus. He and Floor Leader Buzz Thomas will be a force to be reckoned with, my friends. I just wanted to take this moment to congratulate Mike on his new role, and I ask all of you to work closely with him in the transition.
