Abstract
This report presents Michigan local government leaders’ assessments of their jurisdictions’ current employee compensation levels (pay and benefits), as well as retiree pension and benefit obligations. It is intended to inform policy discussions in Lansing as well as in local communities statewide, as debate intensifies on restructuring public sector employee compensation in Michigan. Findings in the report are based on statewide surveys in the Spring 2010 wave of the Michigan Public Policy Survey (MPPS).
