Rick Snyder enters the joint session of the state Legislature before delivering his third annual State of the State address in the Capitol in Lansing, Mich. The Michigan Legislature formally kicked off 2014 with no heavy lifting in week one. But voting could occur as soon as this week, when lawmakers also gather to hear Gov. Snyder’s annual State of the State pep talk. The big priority in the first half of the year is passing the next state budget and addressing a nearly $1 billion surplus. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio, File)
