The Citizens Research Council of Michigan is a privately funded, not-for-profit public affairs research organization.  It lists its primary objective as providing factual, unbiased, independent information on significant issues concerning state and local government organization and finance. CRC believes that the use of this information by policymakers will lead to sound, rational public policy formation in Michigan.
