Will this granholm not stop until every last person leaves this state?! It seems the only people who are left are those who cannot take a loss on selling their home. Soon this state will be a ghost town. It also hurts our democratic candidate clinton. Look what happen to michigan with a woman in charge!!! Very disapointing!! I am disgusted with the state of our beautiful state. Get on the ball girl!!!! Save this state before there's nobody left.

Beer has not had a tax increase since the '60's and is long overdue. Or is it that she realizes it is the upper middle/rich class who is most likely to pay the liquor tax while "Joe Six-Pack" ie' the union member laborer who is the beer drinker?

A friend from there said he felt that kept legislators more in touch. I think that it would be a relatively minor impact on our fiscal status though. Still, every little bit... I asked the Governor about the 2% tax and she said that if your gross receipts were under (I think) $350,000, there was no tax. Indiana does the part-time legislator thing.

Other states do have parttime legislators and they are in better fiscal shape than we are. Another item that is going to cost the small business people a lot of lost business is the 2% tax. People are struggling now, so they just won't use the business' services as much. aan I feel that we should put the legislators in Lansing on a parttime basis for as much as it is costing us for full time.
