Lansing Mayor-elect Andy Schor has selected an experienced slate of Lansing leaders to lead his transition team. The team, which is already hard at work, will meet throughout the rest of the year and make policy recommendations to the Mayor-elect on education, economic and business development, neighborhoods and public safety and infrastructure.“We have a lot of work to do,” Mayor-elect Schor said. “I am grateful to these valued community leaders for dedicating their time and talent to helping ensure a smooth transition for me and my team.

We still have a lot of issues to address, and I am honored to help Andy with his transition,” Bauer said.
