LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, Secretary of State Ruth Johnson and Attorney General Bill Schuette have been sworn into office.

The three Republicans took their oaths of office after GOP Gov. Rick Snyder was sworn in.

Justices Robert Young and Mary Beth Kelly were sworn in, as were members of the state Board of Education and the boards of Michigan State University, Wayne State University and the University of Michigan. Eight Court of Appeals judges also took their oaths of office.

The ceremony took place on a platform built over the Capitol steps.
