Gov. Granholm needs to address state problems, not draw support for her cause
It’s too bad Gov. Jennifer Granholm feels it’s more important to have a partisan political rally on Thursday morning than a free, frank and unfettered discussion with students on the challenges facing our great state.
The governor’s rally is ironic, as she will be asking cash-strapped students to pay even more in taxes in exchange for resurrecting the Michigan Promise Scholarship.
It’s also ironic that Granholm blames the state Senate for “breaking a promise” when both Democrats and Republicans in both chambers of the Legislature made the tough decisions that the governor was unwilling to make; balancing a budget without tax increases.
In these tough economic times, raising taxes isn’t the answer to our challenges.
Unfortunately, this is a lesson that Granholm has never learned.
And the governor’s inability to lead Michigan has cost the state her future.
