Diversifying Economy Makes Michigan Stronger

Governor Jennifer GranholmGovernor Jennifer M. Granholm (D, MI) used her weekly radio address last Friday to make the case that diversifying our economy and investing in our people makes Michigan strong.  I completely agree with her.

Of course, I hasten to add that there are a couple of other things that make Michigan stronger.

  • Find a solution to Michigan's budget problems that doesn't rely entirely on raising taxes.  This blog has published several ways in which in can be done.  It would be nice if she could think of at least as many;
  • Replace Michigan's Single Business and Personal Property Taxes with a traditional corporate income tax;
  • Enact enabling legislation for DARTA.
Hopefully, Ms. Granholm will use next week's radio address to discuss those issues.
