This week the Detroit Economic Club invited Dr. Adriana Kugler, a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, to discuss the state of the economy, labor market, inflation, and outlook on monetary policy. She views the economy as “being in a good position after making significant progress in recent years toward our dual-mandate goals of maximum employment and stable prices.” She also sees the labor market remaining solid and inflation appearing on sustainable path to the Fed’s 2% goal. During the lunch meeting, I was honored to host students from Northville High School as part of the DEC's student program. I also want to thank WJR 760 AM Paul W. Smith for spending a few minutes with me to talk about the DEC’s session with Dr. Kugler, Comerica Bank’s 175th Anniversary, and our relationships with businesses throughout the state of Michigan. 📻: https://lnkd.in/gRghsMWh 🎙️: https://lnkd.in/g3VMpiae 💻 For Dr. Kugler’s full speech to the DEC: https://lnkd.in/gTasYEXH Steve Grigorian Bill Adams Jason Tinsley #ComericaBank #Economy #EconomicClimate #Economist #Business #SmallBusiness #RaisingExpectatations #AForceForGood #Relationships

I am both pleased and surprised that Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has announced his candidacy as a Michigan gubernatorial candidate. The surprise part is that this long time Democrat is doing so as an independent. Mr. Duggan, a proud son of Detroit Catholic Central High School, has done a great job as mayor the past ten years. He took the city out of bankruptcy. He's demolished over 6,000 blighted homes since 2020 alone. He has been a friend to business and encouraged investments such as the Stellantis $1.6 billion Mack Avenue assembly complex. Unlike many other mayors of major cities, he has NOT declared Detroit to be a sanctuary city. Going independent as a candidate illustrates his desire to be a governor for all and not be put into an ideological straightjacket. This will be interesting. WJR 760 AM
