...cotton industry, Textile Analyst John Figh maintains that the decision "will not have one bit of effect on companies like Burlington, Milliken and Dan River," three major firms that are already well on their way to compliance with the new cotton-dust limits. In the four years allowed for complete compliance, the court's decision will probably weigh most heavily on small companies that lack the capital to clean up their mills. Meanwhile, it may create a competitive advantage for manufacturers of synthetics, since man-made fibers do not create a dust problem...
...depends heavily on state aid. Sixty-five per cent of its $200-million operating budget comes directly from state coffers. When Gov. William G. Milliken decreased the university's budget by $16 million this year--the legislature traditionally had appropriated increases that compensated for inflation--he pushed the university into making the most severe budget cuts of its 126-year history...
Should the U.S. attempt to rescue its auto industry by restricting the import of Japanese-made cars? That was the knotty question that faced President Reagan last week. The Governors of eight auto-producing states, led by William Milliken of Michigan, met with the President in the White House to ask for negotiations toward a "voluntary" Japanese reduction of auto imports.

The Tisch amendment, named after the Shiawassee County drain commissioner who drew up the proposal, at first had broad support led by homeowners and real estate developers, who believed that a revitalized economy would make up for the lost tax revenues.

Michigan, Milliken said, would have to fire 24,000 state workers, close 84 state parks and 180 campgrounds, eliminate 7,000 beds for state mental...
Michigan's ideal kind of Republican happens to be its Governor: William Milliken, who supported George Bush in the primary and helped him defeat Reagan 2 to 1. Reagan still causes uneasiness among many Republican regulars, who are certainly ready for a change in Washington but not too much of one. Rock the boat, to be sure, but for heaven's sake don't capsize it. Michigan is one state where Anderson may be hurting Reagan more than Carter because of the defection of liberal Republicans. Milliken, however, is now vigorously campaigning for Reagan because Bush...
