After a unanimous vote by its Board Thursday,
the Michigan State House Development Authority (MSHDA) named Deputy State
Treasurer Wayne Workman as Interim Director. Mr. Workman replaces Scott Woosley
who resigned amid allegations of inappropriate travel expense reimbursement.
Mr. Workman’s first responsibility will be to
work with the Internal Audit Office of the Department of Technology,
Management, and Budget which has been requested by MSHDA Board Chair and Chief
Deputy Treasurer Tom Saxton to review the practices of MSHDA relative to travel
expense reimbursement.
Mr. Workman had most recently been overseeing
the Department of Treasury’s Local Government Services Bureau and had
previously worked for the former Department of Commerce on economic development
efforts.
