LANSING, Mich. -- The Associated Press has learned Gov.-elect Rick Snyder has chosen House Speaker Andy Dillon to be Michigan's next treasurer and former
Lt. Gov. Dick Posthumus as his legislative affairs adviser.

A person with knowledge of the appointments said Monday the two will be named in Ann Arbor, where Snyder has scheduled an 11 a.m. news conference.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the appointments have not yet been made. The incoming administration would not comment.

Dillon would be the first Democrat that Republican Snyder has appointed since winning the governor's race last week.

Posthumus is a partner at Compatico Inc., an office furniture system manufacturing company in Grand Rapids. He would not comment Monday.
