Description: "Daniel Loepp's Sharing the Balance of Power chronicles the Eighty-seventh Michigan Legislature, which, from 1993 through 1994, successfully shared power between Republicans and Democrats." "Loepp, chief of staff to the Democratic co-Speaker Curtis Hertel at the time, takes the reader "inside" the state capitol, examining the key policy debates (including school finance reform), important personalities, and difficult negotiations.".

"In an age of public cynicism about the legislative process, Sharing the Balance of Power offers the reader a refreshing portrait of politicians coming together in the spirit of bipartisan representation to successfully serve their constituents, the people of Michigan."--BOOK JACKET.
