NEW POLL OVERVIEW:<br />
Governor Snyder has ordered the state to conduct a study examining whether the state has too many bosses. This decision was made based on input from unions representing state employees who said that changing the manager to staff ratio could save millions of dollars.<br />
<br />
The state currently has about one manager for every six employees. The unions argue the ratio should be between seven and 11 employees per boss. If the ratio was 7:1, it is projected that it would save around $75 million a year. <br />
