MEA Votes

If Gov. Granholm hadn’t been wearing a different suit, one could easily have thought tonight’s State of the State address was a replay of her past 7 annual speeches.

Act with urgency. Create jobs. Cut the budget. Give more tax breaks.

It didn’t work the first seven times. And it’s not going to work this year. It’s like we’re living the same nightmare over and over again.

On Friday, Gov. Granholm apparently signed up for the “Take It Out On The Public Employees Club,” joining its ranks alongside Sen. Bishop and Speaker Dillon. Her assault on public employee retirement is another chapter in what is becoming a very long and boring book – especially for Michigan voters who are sick of budget games and gimmicks.
