Chamber Of Commerce Likes Snyder Message

FARMINGTON HILLS (WWJ) - As a small group of protesters gathered outside the Farmington Hills Manor Friday, Governor Snyder spoke to a crowd of local business people inside.

"The business community, those of you here, you are critical to making this happen, I need your help. I need you to speak up, you see my extended family, I need my extended friends here, to not just go out of here and say, "Wow, that was a kind of a neat talk.""

Members of the Farmington Hills and Livonia Chamber of Commerce gave the governor a standing ovation following his remarks. Snyder's reception inside the hall was decidedly different from the vocal minority outside the building, protesting his budget plans.
