Michigan Democrats led all branches of government for the past two years , for the first time in about four decades .

But Democrats couldn't coalesce around a legislative agenda in the final days of 2024 .

Among the bills not acted upon: ones to bring more transparency to the governor’s office and Legislature , which are now exempt from public record requests.

Michigan lawmakers did pass a slew of consequential laws in 2023 , the first year of full Democratic power.

They repealed the state’s “right-to-work” law that allowed workers in unionized jobs to opt out of union dues and fees.

But “ 2024 will be chronicled as one of the least productive legislative sessions in history,” says Eric Lupher .
