    Finally, there is some renewed light in the award-winning Pure Michigan tourism campaign. But that light is more flicker than bright beam because of a dim bill moved Thursday by the Michigan Senate Finance Committee.

    Faced with a nearly unanimous House package for long-term, sustainable funding for Michigan’s can't-miss tourism promotion campaign, Senate Finance Committee Chairwoman Nancy Cassis, R-Novi, balked, and instead steered through $9.5 million in patchwork funding that allows Pure Michigan to limp along for the rest of 2010 at half its requested funding with no clear plan for 2011 and beyond.

    "I don't think this goes far enough," said Sen. Gretchen Whitmer, D-East Lansing. "To me (full-funding as requested by the state's tourism promotion team) is a no-brainer. "But reasonable people choose amputation over death, so I’ll vote for amputation."
