Granholm: "what would YOU do if you were in my position?"

Granholm spent time discussing viable options for Michigan's budget crisis in a town hall meeting last night. She's got a couple more of these meetings on the docket-- but i don't see them producing any results. Last night's televised meeting appeared to be little more than a PR move on her part. She played sympathetic to each audience member's concern, but i did not hear a viable direction for moving this economy forward.

Much of the discussion concerned the budget crisis in Michigan-- but only a few lines of conversation surrounded the root cause of the budget crisis. (the economy).

IMO, Granholm should be spending lots of time working with larger corporations to bring new industry to michigan. We need to find reasons for the Comerica's to stay here and reasons for other industries to setup shop here.

Once the unemployment rate is back down, there will be more money in the economy as a whole-- which will lead us in the right direction for the 'budget crisis'.

Granholm's current plan is to increase taxes on the citizens of michigan, many who are under employed (if not unemployed).

Something tells me we may have another 4 years of this before it starts to get better---

Another Blow

Looks like detroit's economy is going to take another hit. . . Comerica is pulling their world headquarters and moving it to texas.....

that's just great ;-)
