LANSING (WKZO)  -- Governor Snyder will deliver his annual State of the State address on January 16th in Lansing. That’s one of the earliest dates for a State of the State since the Blanchard Administration.

This will be the third time Snyder has outlined his plan for Michigan before a joint session of the Michigan Legislature. The governor has recently signed a number of new laws including the controversial "right to work" bill last month.

Snyder was highly criticized by unions and other labor groups but said he views the measure as "pro-worker."
