    Closed Factory Governor Granholm (Democrat, Canada) is warning us that Michigan is in a financial crisis. I wonder who has been in charge the last few years…wait it is Mrs Granholm herself. So really she has run Michigan and it’s economy into the ground. I truely believe if Dick Devos had won, we would see a changed attitude across Michigan. I believe a big part of the economy is perception and attitude. There is no optimism, no spark for the future of Michigan.

    All we can hope for is that Google is going to put a sizeable office complex in Ann Arbor, in the mean time the number of jobs bleeding out is far surpassing any new jobs being created. Time for drastic measures in the way of tax cuts and incentives. Michigan is at a tipping point right now and is tettering toward falling off the edge. Something needs to happen soon.

  1. Wouldn’t it be nice if the governor of Michigan had the power to allocate the required funds and needed taxes to stop the crisis facing our state?! She can veto , but not create what she knows must be done. However, the legislature has the power to solve the crisis. It would be wonderful if our men and women would think less of their “electibility” and work for the people doing what is right. I hate it that the electors bully our elected officials! We need to stop being partisan and be people who support the people we elect to do what is right for the state.
    I think it’s wise that she, Governor Granholm, put it to the people…Do you want fire, police, education or low taxes? I want higher taxes - you get what you pay for - where else does the money come from?
    As for Devos - would he solve our state money crisis how…by creating another pyramid scheme?!
