I thought this would be a hot topic.

Yeah. My wife just got a job at MGM Grand. Hopefully she can keep working.

Looks like she gets to continue to work you just have to pay more taxes, what else is new!

I thought they would have worked something out before shutting it down... At least its up and running now.

@Thlayli: Where in the metro area do you live?

They didn't work anything out because, in politics, taxes are a one-way thing.

Am I the only one that believes Granholm doesn't have a clue?

Right. Tell me when you're running for governor.

It won't be too long, when a few more people lose their homes, going from work to unemployment insurance to welfare. When they finally get tired of watching the city's in the state turn into run down ghost towns. Michigan ranks 49th in the country in all categories that have to do with quality of life. It looks like our state government and the Governor are doing a great job.

I would just like to point out for the sake of argument that it looks like the bigger picture is being overlooked. State economics rely on the greater well being of federal economic state. Michigan's exports are purchased on a nation wide level. When the Nation stops being able to afford luxury items such as automobiles the production state suffers most. Last time I checked that was W's problem. Not Granholm.
