Granholm’s Gonna Raise Taxes
And you better believe that Strickland will watch how she’s doing it.
Granholm’s appointment of a hastily-assembled Emergency Financial Advisory Panel, chaired by former Govs. Bill Milliken and Jim Blanchard and given a mere three weeks to come up with a remedy, was widely and understandably viewed by political observers and the media as a cover for a tax increase proposal.
Granholm’s office calls the 12-member panel of Democrats (including ex-Attorney General Frank Kelley), other left-leaning folks and moderate Republicans (including ex-U.S. Rep and state Sen. Joe Schwarz of Battle Creek and ex-Senate Majority Leader Dan DeGrow of Port Huron) “a diverse group with diverse opinions.”

Granholm is planning on raising taxes, which last time I checked means she will be digging deeper in my already empty wallets but has not cut any spending out of the budget.
Michigan’s economy is a train wreck. The last thing they need is more taxes. This should be obvious to everyone, but unfortunately Michigan also has Democrats, for which the obvious is really, really hard.
Coming soon to a state near you, maybe this state. Would that our GOP had any credibility on this issue, but they blew that a few years ago.
