2024 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Corporations


Gretchen Whitmer: Set up an Innovation Fund to invest in high-growth startups

Let's establish an Innovation Fund to invest in high-growth startups that will create the future, right here in Michigan. Right now, we have no state-level mechanism to attract and retain promising young companies. With the new Innovation Fund, we can launch hundreds of new Michigan-based startups and create thousands of jobs. Together, we're going to build the infrastructure for innovation so founders can start and build their companies here in Michigan.

Doug Burgum: Corporations can't own land here; protecting family farms

We still have the strongest protection for family farmers in the nation. Corporations can't own land here. Foreign corporations can't own land here. If you and I wanted to start a farm together and you're not related to me, second cousin or closer, we couldn't start a farm together here. So we've got the tightest protections of family farmers. We can do that, save our tradition and still open up the door for capital to flow into that.
