LANSING (AP) -- Update: Governor Snyder has presented his State of the State address. He focused on not only the success of 2011, but the challenges that lie ahead in 2012. To see a recap, the video is available above.

 

Governor Snyder will deliver his second State of the State address Wednesday evening.

The governor faces a range of conflicting expectations from business, labor and other groups.  The Michigan Chamber of Commerce says it wants Snyder to lower business taxes, while labor advocates say he should put money into schools and unemployment benefits.
