In case you didn’t know, Jennifer Granholm is touring the state this week holding town hall meetings so she can find out what Michigan residents are saying and thinking about our state’s economy. Just as she is kicking off the town hall meeting week Comerica announces that they are moving their headquarters out of [...]

I have added a new poll to my Squidoo Lens - Best of Michigan that asks a simple question.
Has Jennifer Granholm done a good job running our state? You have two choices - either yes or no. None of that “undecided” garbage that a typical poll contains.

Maybe we should nickname our illustrious governor “Jenny Blue Skies.” It seems to her that if Michigan residents can be as optimistic as she is about our state’s future that everything will fall into place and make Michigan’s economy rebound.
Yeah, and if ifs and buts were candies and nuts we’d all have a Merry [...]

Ahh, hear that? You don’t? Me either.
My phones are blissfully silent except for people I actually want to talk to.
My radio is filled with talk, music, and commercials for the local auto mechanic.
My television is still filled with a lot of garbage, but at least the politicians have vacated it.
The 2006 elections are [...]

One of the hottest topics here at the All Things Michigan blog was a post I wrote after a friend of mine moved to Colorado for better job prospects. There was a lot of good discussion and points made in the comments section of the post.
The bottom line about this year’s election for the [...]

It is hard to adequately state my displeasure with these three debates fights that took place between Governor Granholm and her challenger, Dick DeVos. What a waste of time for the great people of the state of Michigan. Neither candidate did anything to solidify their positions on the economy, taxes, or education.
While DeVos [...]

Governor Jennifer Granholm and her Republican challenger, Dick DeVos, square off tonight in the third and final (thankfully) debate. The first two debates have been an exhibition in good old mudslinging while not exactly swaying potential voters with their political rhetoric.
Will either candidate present a detailed, fact-based plan for turning Michigan around? Judging [...]

Well the second debate took place last night between current governor Jennifer Granholm and her Republican challenger, Dick DeVos. I am not a betting man, but if I were I would have to bet that more people watched the Detroit Tigers win Game 1 of the ALCS than who watched the debate.
Well, if you [...]

With tonight’s second Gubernatorial Debate scheduled for 8 p.m. it appears that there is now a third party taking place in the debate that just might out duel Governor Granholm and her opponent, Dick DeVos. You see, the debate is going up against the Detroit Tigers opening game of the American League Championship Series. [...]

Well, you would have to sift through a lot of rhetoric and all too typical mud-slinging by both candidates last night to find some interesting points made by either candidate. This wasn’t a debate, it was more like a schoolyard fistfight. It was exactly what I hoped it would not be.
However, I was [...]
