Gov. Snyder takes interim tag off director of vets agency

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The interim director of Michigan's Veterans Affairs Agency is dropping the temporary tag. James Redford was named director Wednesday, two months after he replaced Jeff Barnes in the wake of a troubling audit at the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. Redford is a former Kent County judge and was Gov. Rick Snyder's chief lawyer before moving to the agency in February.
