Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero is the chief executive of Michigan’s sixth largest city. Now starting his fifth year as mayor, Bernero tackles the challenges of today’s economy with a fierce determination to bring common sense reforms to government and to create a favorable business climate for new, job-creating investments.
Under Bernero’s leadership, Lansing has leveraged more than a half-billion dollars in new investment that will retain and create more than 6,000 jobs. Even in the face of serious revenue losses and rising costs, Bernero erased more than $40 million in city budget deficits without raising taxes by making government more efficient and more accountable.
