| Governor
William G. Milliken: Michigan's Passionate Moderate is the
story of the forces and times that shaped the Millikens and the
legacy they have left to the people of Michigan and the nation.
William G. Milliken left the Michigan Governor's office more than
twenty years ago, but he is remembered as a landmark in Michigan
political history. He not only served as Michigan governor longer
than anyone - nearly 14 years - but as a Republican, reached across
traditional political partisan divides to become a friend of the
City of Detroit, champion of the environment, defender of the
disadvantaged and promoter of civil liberties. |
| |
| Governor
Milliken will receive a lifetime achievement award from the People
of the State of Michigan at Wetlands 2006 Thursday afternoon. |

creation of environmentally-safe jobs and businesses, and empowerment
of people to make democracy work. He is also a policy consultant
to the Michigan Environmental Council, a coalition of over 65
environmental organizations with a combined total of more than
200,000 members. MEC has provided a collective voice for the environment
at the State Capitol since 1980, developing public policy, educating
elected officials and the general public, and providing technical
assistance and support to member organizations. |
