Company Towns. Powerful Employers. Balance Needed. #leadership. #publicpolicy. #localgovernment.

This is an important issue throughout the nation and very much so in Michigan.  Many local smaller economies are built on one or two company's economic success and their philanthropic efforts In the town.  How do public administrators, public policy leaders and citizens assure that there is balance in what is best for the future of the town and yet keep their local industry focused on community needs, more employment and effective local planning.
