Vowing to speed Michigan's transformation into a global economic power, the mayors of the state's two largest cities said they are pushing a four-point urban agenda for reviving Michigan cities. Appearing before the Grand Rapids Economic Club, Mayors Kilpatrick and Heartwell said that they would co-chair the Urban Core Mayors group and advance policies that modernize the state's tax code and boost public transportation, inner city schools, and 21st-century economic opportunities.
