An Experience That Most Michigan Citizens Will Never Have

The state capitol is an amazing building.  There was a time when it was in very rough shape, but in the late 80s and early 90s, the state embarked on a restoration process that really made the capitol itself a work of art.  Please click the link to get more information on the renovation project.

One of the highlights of being a part of Youth In Government is that the delegates actually get to go on the chamber floor, sit at the desks, use the podiums and mics, and become legislators.  They discuss bills, make amendments, and vote on legislation.  Here are a few of this year's delegation on the chamber floor.  Some are in the House and some are in the Senate.
